Join us for a conversation on the state and nation in South Sudan with Dr Nicki Kindersley

Join us for the first instalment of the SSAP Lecture Series, where we bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and community members to explore some of today's most pressing global issues impacting Africa and Black communities.

This session, Dr Nicki Kindersley will lead a thought-provoking conversation on the state and nation in South Sudan, exploring her research on nationalism, nation-building and political identity in South Sudan, with a particular focus on how ideas of nationhood have shaped the country’s development since independence.
