Sharon Hutchinson, UW Madison
Sudan's Referendum and the Oil-Rich South"

Available on cable TV and Madison City Channel

Our February 2011 chapter meeting was a mixture of hope and the sober reality of creating a new country in the context of a difficult history. Sharon Hutchinson, professor of anthropology at the UW Madison and an authority on the Sudan and its culture gave an overview of the geographic and ethnic map of the Sudan. She then spoke in depth about the many difficulties the Sudan will have to successfully and peacefully create a separate state in the south.
