ONLINE | 10 Week Seminar: The Struggle for Higher Education and Scientific Research in Sudan at War: Challenges and New Pathways
This 10-week seminar series explores the fate of higher education and scientific research in Sudan amid war, tracing how universities, laboratories, and knowledge networks have endured destruction, displacement, and reinvention. Drawing on official reports from Sudan’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, recent academic studies, and first-hand testimonies, the series examines the system before, during, and after the outbreak of conflict to uncover both collapse and resilience. Each session blends concise presentations, Sudanese case studies, and audience-driven discussions, encouraging participants to reflect on shared regional experiences—from Yemen to Palestine—and to envision new pathways for rebuilding. By combining evidence, lived experience, and comparative dialogue, the series aims to transform Sudan’s crisis into a learning model for protecting and reimagining higher education and science in times of war.
Presented by The New University in Exile Consortium at The New School for Social Research.
