Researcher, Leiden University

Duncan Money is a consulting historian and Research Associate at the International Studies Group, University of the Free State. His research focuses primarily on the mining industry and, in particular, the Zambian Copperbelt. Duncan’s main interests are in labour, race and global history, specifically the ways in which the mining industry connected seemingly disparate and distant places across the globe. Alongside his research, Duncan has a close interest in digitisation and ran a project to preserve and digitize the archives of the Mineworkers’ Union of Zambia.

Previously, Duncan worked at Leiden University in the Netherlands and completed his PhD at the University of Oxford. He has taught widely on African, imperial and global history for both undergraduates and master's students at the University of Oxford, Stanford University's Oxford campus, the University of Zambia and the University of the Free State.
