«Geteilter Riese! Droht zwischen Nord- und Südsudan ein Krieg um Grenzen?» SWR2 Kontext by Andrea Beer including an interview with Günther Schlee, SWR2, broadcast on 11.07.2011
Günther Schlee was until 1999 Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Bielefeld, having studied anthropology, romance languages and general linguistics in Hamburg. He received his doctorate for research on the belief and social systems of the Rendille, an ethnic group in northern Kenya. Alongside widespread fieldwork trips in Kenya, Ethiopia and Sudan, he was also guest lecturer in Padang (Sumatra) and at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Science Sociales in Paris. Typical of the research of Günther Schlee is the "inter-ethnic" procedure and the combining of historical, sociological and philological methods.
