CERTIZENS Regional Workshop on Changing ID Systems in East Africa
CERTIZENS is very excited to be hosting an East Africa Regional Workshop in Kampala from 15-17 January 2024, with the title Changing ID Systems in East Africa: Histories, Policies and Practices and the Reshaping of States and Citizens.
This is the first gathering of its kind with mostly regionally-based scholars working on related issues. In addition to panel presentations by fifteen selected researchers, we are delighted to have two internationally significant scholars in the field as keynote speakers: Dr Sam Balaton-Chrimes (Deakin University, Melbourne) and Professor Keith Breckenridge (WITS University, Johannesburg). We intend to develop the papers further for publication, but in addition see this as an important platform for encouraging further research, as well as productive collaborations, on ID systems in the East Africa region among multiple generations of scholars.
