  • Performing Arts and Social Violence: Innovating Research Approaches to Sexual and Gender-based Violence in the Global South
    Working with Professor Susan Fitzmaurice (PI) and a team of academic and NGO collaborators, Professor Stephen Forcer is a Co-Investigator on £148,565 project that is scoping how the performing arts – from theatre and dance to comedy – can be used to understand and address social violence, particularly everyday forms of violence, including sexual and gender-based violence. The project is designed and implemented in partnership with the NGOs Timap for Justice (Sierra Leone) and Clowns Without Borders (South Africa). Fieldwork is based on a series of performance workshops (comedy, theatre, dance, song) and interviews in different communities, and is providing data for thinking about wider methods and practice. A central aim of the project is to identify ways in which future research – and research funding calls – could address pressing gaps and challenges. Outputs will also consider the idea of development activity itself as a form of ‘performance’.
