Abstract

Based on research insights shared at Burundi Research Network Conference in Nairobi in July 2019, Andrea Purdeková invites us to reverse the mainstream relationship between empirics and theory. Taking the example of Burundi, Purdeková illustrates why the framing of ‘crisis’ and displacement means we need to reconsider our conceptual lens and further disengage from the colonial gaze.
