The Oxford Research Group’s Remote Warfare Programme (RWP) will be running a series of panels on “Remote Warfare in Africa” at the 2020 African Studies Association UK Conference. This will take place at the University of Cardiff’s Cathays campus from the 8^th-10^th September 2020. The aim of this workstream will be to bring together experts of remote warfare, security force assistance, and security force reform, as well as country-specific and regional experts to examine the challenges of contemporary conflict in Africa.

We invite you to submit an abstract of no more than 500 words, by the 22^nd March, if you are interested in presenting on one of these panels. You can find more information about the conference and the call for abstracts here. 

We will be arranging 4 panel discussions with 5 speakers each. Unfortunately we cannot cover accommodation or travel costs for this event. If you have any questions, please email megan@oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk.
