I wrote and produced this track not only through the early hours but also whilst in an extremely dark place mentally. In fact you could say producing this track possibly saved my life. I would like to dedicate this track to a good friend, my sorella, Nikki Luciano who gave me the inspiration to not only create but also to live without even knowing. Thank you Nikki.

Lost Within

In 2014 Professor James Fairhead's research played a crucial role in responding to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.  An epidemic with many similarities to the current Covid 19 pandemic, Ebola threatened both the physical and social body of the infected regions.  In this episode of the Impacted podcast we hear about how understanding Human behaviour and cultural motivation is an essential part of mitigating the spread of any disease.
  
James Fairhead is a Professor Of Social Anthropology at the University of Sussex. His research focuses on environmental and medical anthropology and he has conducted extensive fieldwork principally in West and Central Africa.

The researcher would like to further thank all those involved in the Ebola Response Anthropology Platform, including Professor Melissa Leach (@IDS), Melissa Parker (@ the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), and Dominique Millimouno for his research scoping exercise that ERAP supported.
