Professor Jerome Lewis is an anthropologist at University College London. He has worked with BaYaka hunter-gatherers in the forests of northern Congo-Brazzaville since 1993. He has published on their egalitarian politics, taboos and myths, and the role of rituals, music and dance in governing a society without leaders. Jerome led applied research to define how to apply free, prior and informed consent in the context of expanding extractive industries and contributed to developing the first law to recognise Indigenous People’s rights in Africa. He advocates for the recognition of Indigenous conservation efforts, to their rights over their lands, and to better representation using new technologies (Extreme Citizen Science). He is the director of the Centre for the Anthropology of Sustainability and of Flourishing Diversity.
