Aude Franklin- PhD Student

Aude Franklin is a PhD student in Social Anthropology at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris (EHESS) in association with IFRA-Nairobi. Titled «(Re)constructing family and kinship relationships: An anthropology of family in exile situation, Kampala, Uganda», her thesis focuses on disaffiliation and individuals’ reconstruction of family ties in situation(s) of forced displacement, migration, and exile in the African Great Lakes region. This research is based on an ethnography of the domestic spaces of Congolese refugees in Kampala and in the Kivu and Ituri areas in DRC. It questions the making of kinship and domestic groups recompositions in post-conflict situation, focusing on gender and age relationships, and reconfigurations of identities, practices and subjectivities in families to understand how people guarantee their economic stability, physical security, and existential balance.
