For today's #ThickTrunkTuesday, a second mini-series on the "Social Life of Trees" (borrowing this from Laura Rival). Today it's the #Iroko Tree, as it is known in West Africa, or #Mvule in Uganda - #MiliciaExcelsa. It is a tree I know well from my PhD fieldwork in Edo State in #Nigeria in the early 2000s, and, and one that is good for "thinking through" (slightly paraphrasing Maurice Bloch) human-nature relations
