Gabrielle Lynch has been awarded a small research grant (£1,500) from the Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE) to conduct fieldwork in Kenya in 2016/17 on the impact and aftermath of truth commissions. The project is entitled “Catharsis, re-traumatisation or silence? What happens after a truth commission: The case of Kenya’s Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission”, and constitutes a pilot for a possible future study on the impact and aftermath of truth commissions in Kenya, South Africa, Sierra Leone and Ghana. ROAPE research grants are open to members of the journal's editorial working group (EWG), contributing editors and international advisory board; Gabrielle is the chair of the ROAPE EWG.
