Amah Edoh is a PhD Candidate in MIT’s Program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society. Her dissertation, an ethnographic study of the trajectory of Dutch Wax cloth (also known as “African print cloth”) from design in the Netherlands to market in Togo, examines how Africa is produced discursively, visually, and materially in this historical moment. A 2004 Fulbright Scholar to Zambia, Amah obtained the MSc in Population and International Health from the Harvard School of Public Health, and SB in Political Science from MIT.
