The ‘Bukavu Series’ seeks to give space to those (Silent) Voices that often remain invisible in the production of knowledge. It presents a series of blog posts produced by a group of 30 researchers based in eastern Congo and Europe, and is the result of a collective and reflexive process that started in early 2018. Over the last year and half, these researchers have critically examined their own positionality and (in)visibility in the cycles of research they’ve been part of, and explored the ethical and emotional dilemmas they face when conducting research in conflict affected areas. A number of workshops provided the necessary space to share experiences, reflect on their roles and positions and think about ways forward. A collective writing process offered an additional opportunity to share and critically reflect about each other’s positions and experiences. This series of blogposts highlights the outcomes of this process.
