RELIEF 2: Refugees, Education, Learning, Information Technology, and Entrepreneurship for the Future

DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY

Since 2017, the RELIEF Centre has worked with citizens, NGOs, and other stakeholders to deliver a programme of research and action towards social inclusion, sustainability and better quality of life for communities in Lebanon. During this time, however, Lebanon experienced a number of radical changes and tragedies: destabilisation of government following the 2019 political protests; the horrendous blast in the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020; an economic collapse and currency devaluation; widespread failure of public services and infrastructure; and a series of Covid-related lockdowns that have exerted further pressure on the economy. In this context of compounded crises, RELIEF's work proceeds from the view that future recovery in Lebanon must follow principles of inclusive growth and prosperity, whereby the starting point and primary focus is not aggregate GDP-growth but the things that people need for better quality of life -secure livelihoods, clean and affordable services, good education, and safe, healthy and inclusive environments. In the Lebanese context of economic and political turmoil, however, 'bottom-up' initiatives are essential for developing solutions. RELIEF's work thus focuses on the sustained development of capabilities that can help citizens and communities acquire skills and organise into communities of practice that address emergent challenges. Over the next 5 years, the second phase of the RELIEF Centre (RELIEF II) will focus on strengthening existing capabilities for citizen-led research, action, and transformation.  COVID-19

Queer/feminist understandings of political violence: Leveraging activist connections, experiences and knowledges

DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY

Aims/objectives: The project aims to promote diversity, inclusion and equitable engagements between queer/feminist activists and academics in Brazil/the UK with lived experiences and knowledge of political violence. The key objectives are to a) facilitate knowledge exchange and networking between queer/feminist early career researchers (ECRs) in the UK/Brazil working on political violence, b) catalyse new understandings/frameworks for the study of political violence drawing from Brazilian queer/feminist activist perspectives, and c) leverage new activist/academic insights to promote learning/connection between queer/feminist research/activist communities in the UK/Brazil, using such insights to both co-create/design practical knowledge solutions/strategies to support queer/feminist activists resisting political violence, and generate future funding. Applications/benefits: The new queer/feminist insights generated by this project will provide a more sophisticated understanding of political violence that explore its intersectional impacts/effects and prioritise the voices/experiences of those marginalised in mainstream discussions, thus benefitting interdisciplinary research communities. Blending rigorous academic inquiry with real-world applications of queer/feminist knowledges, the insights can be applied to make sense of lived experiences of political violence in Brazil. The project will benefit queer/feminist ECRs in the UK/Brazil by enabling them to identify common interests, develop new ideas for collaborative future research, and foster innovative discussions on political violence that enhance the personal/professional experiences of ECRs in both contexts. The knowledge generated will also benefit Brazilian queer/feminist activists by connecting them to academic understandings/networks from the UK, strengthening/lending legitimacy/visibility to ongoing strategies/practices of resistance/protection/care. Benefits will be especially pertinent in locations such as João Pessoa, which often falls outside LGBTQ+ and gender inclusion initiatives taking place in larger urban centres. Promoting the inclusion, rights and welfare of women/LGBTQ+ people in Brazil, the project will also benefit broader socio-economic development, in line with the OECD's recognition that inclusion is key to this challenge.
