An event hosted by the Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa, in partnership with

Research Programme, the Centre for Women, Peace and Security and the
International African Institute.
Speakers: Holly Porter, Adam Branch
Chair: Professor Tim Allen
This event marks the publication of Holly Porter’s new book After Rape:
violence, justice and social harmony in Uganda.
Drawing upon abundant fieldwork and in-depth interviews with almost 200
women, Holly Porter examines issues surrounding wrongdoing and justice, and
sexual violence and rape, among the Acholi people in northern Uganda. This
intricate exploration offers evidence of a more complicated and nuanced
explanation of rape and its aftermath, suggesting a re-imagining of the
meanings of post-atrocity justice, whilst acknowledging the role of sex,
power and politics in all sexual experiences between coercion and consent.
Dr Holly Porter is a research fellow at the Department of International
Development and lead researcher for northern Uganda for the Justice and
Security Research Programme.
Professor Tim Allen is Director of the Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa and
Head of the Department for International Development at LSE. He has long
experience of research in Uganda, Kenya and Sudan.
Adam Branch is University Lecturer in the Department of Politics and
International Studies and Fellow of Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge.
He is the author of two books: Africa Uprising: Popular Protest and
Political Change and Displacing Human Rights: War and Intervention in
Northern Uganda.
This event is free and open to all, but pre-registration required via
