Traveling Memories, Silences and Secrets (TMSS): Life narratives of Violence Among Refugees from Africa’s Great Lakes Region – A case of Uganda
REFNo: SS2424ES

The study will be guided by the following objectives: 1. Empirically: (a) to map and examine how the life narratives of refugees evolve from contexts of origin to countries of transition and destination (Burundi?Tanzania?USA;
DRC?Uganda?Belgium; Rwanda?Kenya?South Africa); (b) to investigate the evolution
of the memories, silences, and secrets that AGLR refugees carry in their trajectories of
migration.
2. Theoretically: to analyse (a) how space and time transform these life narratives on the move, and (b) how these transformed life narratives shape relationships within refugee communities and relationships with host communities in countries of transition and destination.
3. Epistemologically: (a) to develop a set of innovative interdisciplinary perspectives and
methodological approaches that can be used in researching the memory dynamics and mobility
that originate from Global South lived experiences; (b) to foster collaboration between a diverse multidisciplinary, international team of researchers involved in the TMSS project.
4. Policy: to explore how (a) our understanding of life narratives on the move can transform policy-making at local, regional, and international levels; and (b) how this understanding shapes practitioners’ work with refugees in countries of transition and destination.
