Hale Center Room 110B

Africa's vast mineral wealth, from oil to diamonds to coltan, rarely improves the livelihoods of ordinary citizens, and on the contrary is often the cause of conflict.  This month's forum will explore who benefits, who does not, and how Africa can transform the 'curse' of its natural mineral resources.  Dr. Kevin Cox of the Department of Geography will present some opening remarks to spark the discussion.  All are welcome.
