Research and Study Opportunities

My name is Oliver Lueb and I do work at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum – Cultures of the world in Cologne, Germany. I am currently preparing a basic survey trip for my PhD thesis about aesthetics, art and material culture in Santa Cruz, Solomon Islands. In the hope for exchanging information and contacts in this specific area, I am looking for scholars, who are working in the Solomon Islands, too.

I would be very grateful for any contacts.

Best regards,
Oliver Lueb, M.A.
