Researching education, conflict and civicness in South Sudan: the project rationale and process

Introducing a series of papers on Education, Conflict, and Civicness in South Sudan. The series was conceived by members of the Conflict Research Programme (CRP) South Sudan Panel in collaboration with CRP researchers during their first meeting in Arusha, Tanzania, in July 2018. It is the first publication to be issued under the auspices of the South Sudan Studies Association (SSSA), an initiative which was also driven by the CRP South Sudan Panel and is now developing its membership and agenda to: ‘stimulate knowledge production by South Sudanese scholars, academics, and practitioners’ with attention to ‘the factors that shape conceptions of nation-building and identity in South Sudan.’
