The author

JONNA KATTO is an Academy of Finland Research Fellow at the University of Helsinki. She was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in African Studies at Ghent University, 2019–2021. Author of Women’s Lived Landscapes of War and Liberation in Mozambique: Bodily Memory and the Gendered Aesthetics of Belonging (Routledge, 2019), she has also written on emotions in history telling and the sensory aesthetics of food memories. Her current research focuses on time and change in African gendered histories, and especially on the ways that the deeper past echoes and is reworked in oral history encounters in the present.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 797440.
