Abstract
Efforts at the decolonisation of knowledge production can be fraught with practical and theoretical hurdles. To upend the dominance of global North authors producing research on Burundi, the fourth annual conference of the Burundi Research Network on African soil, in Nairobi, was an opportunity to further these aims. But was this successful and are there dangers of reifying the current developmentalist frame?
