Research Fields	Previously, I have conducted cultural-anthropological research on the lifestyle culture in urban societies in Cameroon and the connection between cities and farming villages. During the first phase of the Potential Project, I considered what the potential of Africa would be while seeking local knowledge for conflict resolution and coexistence in the Bamileke chiefdom society. I would like to elucidate, from a micro point of view, how people in Africa attempt to overcome and achieve coexistence amid significant social changes.
