It is a culmination of several smaller consultations with a variety of Sierra Leonean community groups in Sydney. Community consultations are an essential tool to enhance STARTTS service delivery and facilitate our relationship with the community. Much sensitivity has to be taken into account when consulting with refugee communities and I am pleased to say that STARTTS staff have risen to the challenge. Sierra Leoneans, like many others, have survived horrific traumas in the context of organized violence.

  • Views, Perceptions, Attitudes, Etc
    A Diopian Analysis of the Symbolisms of the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa by Abdul Karim Bangura. Ph.D. [email protected] Abstract This paper probes two major research questions: First, what does the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) symbolize to its members; and second, what do CODESRIA’s symbols represent? In order to answer these questions, the Diopian Methodology is employed. Three sources were utilized to collect the necessary data for the study. One of the sources is an E-mail questionnaire sent to a sample of 299 non- randomly/non-probability selected CODESRIA members asking them to answer the following question: What does CODESRIA symbolize to you? The other two sources comprised CODESRIA’s Charter and its Emblem. The substantive findings generated after the data collected were systematically analyzed by using the qualitative descriptive and linguistic semantic techniques within the context of the generality of the African presence in the world. Results suggest that CODESRIA symbolizes Abrahamic connections (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), African Nationalism, essential dignity, gnoseology, and Ubuntu. It is therefore suggested that CODESRIA develop an ambassadorship approach through which its members in various countries might be encouraged to get their governments and young scholars to know more about the institution’s ethos and work. Such an initiative is vital because it will give the institution more visibility and penetration comparable to those of foreign institutions of similar stature with presence on the African continent, as many of these institutions undermine CODESRIA’s commitment to an alternative narrative on Africa’s potential and prospects.

  • March, 2016. Editor: John Birchall
    The Journal of Sierra Leone Studies – March, 2016. Editor: John Birchall Welcome to The Journal of Sierra Leone Studies. This is the first Journal dedicated solely to Sierra Leone to have been published for a long time. We hope that it will be of use to academics, students and anyone with an interest in what for many is a rather ‘special’ country. The Journal will not concentrate on one area of academic study and invites contributions from anyone researching and writing on Sierra Leone to send their articles to: John Birchall for consideration. Prospective contributions should be between 3500-5000 words in length, though we will in special circumstances consider longer articles and authors can select whether they wish to be peer reviewed or not. Articles should not have appeared in any other published form before. The Editorial Board reserves the right to suggest changes they consider are needed to the relevant author (s) and to not publish if such recommendations are ignored. We are particularly interested to encourage students working on subjects specifically relating to Sierra Leone to submit their work. Thank you so much for visiting The Journal and we hope that you (a) find it both interesting and of use to you and (b) that you will inform colleagues, friends and students of the existence of a Journal dedicated to the study of Sierra Leone.

Although a catastrophe like the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak is a rare event, we face crises and challenges every day that require us to organize for resilience: to find creative ways to unearth and repurpose latent resources in order to adapt and even prosper in the face of tumult, trauma, or transformation.
