ALC Research Seminar No. 19: Walking in Healing Soulidarity: ìAfrika’s Healing Justice Approach to Intergenerational Trauma


The African Leadership Centre (ALC) is pleased to announce our next (ONLINE) research seminar on Tuesday, 24 September 2024, at 11:00 -13:00 BST/13:00- 15:00 EAT.

The session will host a seminar presentation titled Walking in Healing Soulidarity: ìAfrika’s Healing Justice Approach to Intergenerational Trauma  by Dr Toyin Ajao, Director, ìAfrika.

Abstract: 

Through a series of online conversations in the just concluded ìAfrika Healing Soulidarity Virtual Project (HSVP), we garnered insights into what healing justice means to Africans through an Afrofeminist lens. The 16 individuals who participated in the video campaign shared diverse and intersectional approaches through “Let Talk Healing”, “Let’s Do Healing” and “Let’s Walk Healing” on how they are engaging in intergenerational healing for their personal and collective transformation. This is a preliminary presentation of our findings from the analysis of participants defining what healing means to them, their healing practices and how they engage in collective care support with others. This preliminary finding serves as guiding data as ìAfrika delves into wellbeing peace, healing activism, soul advocacy and system change leadership towards intergenerational and collective healing of intra/interpersonal relationships, culture and structures using healing justice, critical consciousness, posthuman security and conflict transformation apparatuses.

Discussant:

Abstract: In this seminar, experienced policy actors and peace practitioners will share their insights about prospects for peace, leadership processes, and the domestic and international factors that influence the longstanding crisis of war in Sudan. The prolongation and stalemate characterising the war in Sudan calls for renewed conversations about what is possible and the way forward, making it important to bring practitioners into academic spaces. Policymakers and practitioners who have been involved in the day-to-day peacebuilding process in Sudan share their insights, peacebuilding efforts and perspectives of the war. The war in Sudan cannot be understood in isolation due to the wider insecurities in the Horn of Africa – Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia and South Sudan. In the case of Ethiopia, despite the signing of a Cessation of Hostilities Agreement between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray Peoples’ Liberation Front in 2022, Ethiopia continues to experience armed insurgencies and instability from conflicts in the Oromia, Amhara and the Beni...
