The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has long been mired in a perpetual

obstacles to the DRCs transition to stability and democracy still remain, a
number of converging factors have created a window of opportunity for
positive change to emerge.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has now claimed over 6,856 lives (15th
December) with over 18,000 cases to date. The virus was discovered in 1976
but no vaccine for the disease is available. It has been suggested that there
has been a lack of will to produce a vaccine largely due to Ebola outbreaks
tending to occur in poorer countries and that consequently there is limited
commercial viability and scope for profit

Harouna, a young artist from the coastal town Nouadhibou in Mauretania,

West Africa, has left his wife and child in hope of safety and more
opportunities for the three of them. In Italy, a group of asylum seekers live in
a prison-like centre, uncertain about their futures in Europe. In Copenhagen
we meet a group of people who may have reached the promised land, but live
in constant search for the money that their families expect them to send
home.
With rawness and dignity, Days of Hope presents personal experiences of
migration and the obstacles faced by African immigrants in Europe.

transplanted to the United States, building lives
out of longing and hope, faith and doubt, the
struggle to stay and the mandate to leave, the
burden and strength of love. Here are
characters faced with dangerous decisions,
children slick with oil from the river, a woman
in love with another despite the penalties. Here
is a world marked by electricity outages, lush

Senegalese Music with an Open Heart

Minnjiaraby was founded in 2001 by Abdoulaye Samb, a guitarist, singer and
composer from Senegal.
His original music is inspired by Fula and Mandinka cultures among many
others. The name of the band means "The love of mixing", which expresses
the richness of Senegalese traditions and ethnicities, the beauty of them
coming together, as well as an open-minded approach to all cultures and
people, local and global alike.
The music has grown from Abdoulaye's travels, collaborations and research
in Africa and Europe.

female identity in all
its delightful and
terrifying complexity .

Interdisciplinary Conference
How do people in Africa conceptualise, appraise, assess money & monetary
transactions?

ex.aspx
We will investigate the whole spectrum of ways in which people make

judgments in the course of their economic engagements, in contexts ranging
from formal legal institutions to intimate domestic, neighbourhood, and
community relationships.
Leading this years workshop will be our Leverhulme Visiting Professor,
Jane Guyer, whose seminal research on money and value in Africa is the
inspiration for our theme. In addition to participating in the general
workshop programme, Professor Guyer will give a series of methodologically
focused lectures, run a series of seminars on her latest theoretical work, and
hold individual and small-group research meetings with research students,
early-career scholars, and staff.
