Rift Valley Institute Sudan Field Course, 06/08



Rift Valley Institute Sudan Course - Rumbek 8-13 June 2008

The fifth Sudan Field Course will take place from Sunday 8 June to Friday 13 June 2008 in Rumbek, South Sudan. The course is a one-week, graduate-level residential programme offering a fast-track introduction to all regions of the country. It is designed for aid workers, peacekeepers, businessmen and women, researchers and diplomats - those living and working in Sudan and those about to start.


Taught by recognised Sudanese and international specialists, the course sets the challenges facing the country in the dynamic context of Sudanese history and culture. This year's teaching staff will include Douglas Johnson, author of The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars, Gerard Prunier, author of Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide, Suliman Baldo of the International Center for Transitional Justice in New York, Mark Bradbury of Bristol University, Jok Madut Jok, author of Race, Religion and Violence in Sudan, Joanna Oyediran and Philip Winter. The course director is Justin Willis. The residential nature of the Course gives extensive opportunity for informal exchange between students and teaching staff.
