PERFORMANCES OF INJUSTICE THE POLITICS OF TRUTH, JUSTICE AND RECONCILIATION IN KENYA Following unprecedented violence in 2007/8, Kenya introduced two classic transitional justice mechanisms: a truth commission and international criminal proceedings. Both are widely believed to have failed, but why? And what do their performances say about contemporary Kenya; the ways in which violent pasts persist; and the shortcomings of transitional justice? Using the lens of performance, this book analyses how transitional justice efforts are incapable of dealing with how unjust and violent pasts actually persist. Gabrielle Lynch reveals the story of an ongoing political struggle requiring substantive socio-economic and political change that transitional justice mechanisms can theoretically recommend, and which they can sometimes help to initiate and inform,


HORIZON 2020 UNDERWRITE GUARANTEE The government has updated its information for UK applicants to Horizon 2020, the EU’s flagship programme for science and innovation. A technical notice provides more detail on the Horizon 2020 underwrite guarantee, the recent extension to the guarantee and how the government plans to continue to support research and innovation in the UK.


It is aimed at UK organisations, such as universities and businesses, who receive Horizon 2020 funding or who are bidding for such funding. It will also be of interest to partner organisations who work with UK participants on Horizon 2020 projects. The UK and EU’s intention is that the eligibility of UK researchers and businesses to participate in Horizon 2020 will remain unchanged for the remaining duration of the programme. This is set out in the Financial Provisions of the draft Withdrawal Agreement, which has been agreed by both UK and Commission negotiators and welcomed by the other 27 EU countries at March European Council.


but which they cannot implement or create, and can sometimes unintentionally help to reinforce. Gabrielle Lynch is a Professor of Comparative Politics at the University of Warwick, and her research interests include ethnic identities and politics, elections and democratisation, and transitional justice and local reconciliation efforts with a particular focus on Kenya. She is an elected member of council for the British Institute in Eastern Africa. Performances of Injustice by Gabrielle Lynch. ISBN


9781108444934, (paperback), 352pp @ £22.99. For more information see: www.cambridge. org/corebooks/ performances-of- injustice/B74DCE99 5FB6F9DCB1AD4C 3BECC07323# n


However, the government states that as a responsible government it needs to plan for every eventuality to ensure that cross-border collaboration in science and innovation can continue after EU exit.


UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has been chosen to manage the underwrite delivery. In the first instance UK recipients of Horizon 2020 funding will be invited by UKRI to register their details on a dedicated portal on the GOV.uk website expected to go live in the autumn. The portal is designed to ensure that UKRI has initial information about projects and participants to keep researchers and businesses informed of the next steps regarding the implementation of underwrite payments, should they be required. The portal will remain open after the UK leaves the EU so that UK applicants can continue to register as and when they are informed that their bid has been successful. You can find full details of how the underwrite guarantee would be managed in the government’s Q and A: www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-participation- in-horizon-2020-uk-government-overview n

Longitudinal data analysis for social scientists


This two-day training workshop is led by Professor Vernon Gayle, AQMEN (Data Science for Social Research), University of Edinburgh. Across the social sciences there is widespread agreement that longitudinal data provides powerful research resources. Many books and courses on longitudinal data analysis are oriented towards statistics and they often lack adequate coverage of the common practical challenges associated with undertaking ‘real’ research. This workshop is specially designed for social scientists. It provides a brief and highly accessible introduction to quantitative longitudinal data analysis using Stata software. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ longitudinal-data-analysis-for-social- scientists-tickets-47662636228

CRUISSE Network Conference 2018


The CRUISSE (Challenging Radical Uncertainty in Science, Society and the Environment) network was established at the beginning of 2017 by the EPSRC, ESRC, NERC and AHRC within RCUK – now UKRI. The 2018 conference will report and debate the outcome of the CRUISSE pilot projects with the teams conducting them, the stakeholders and different academic approaches. Opportunities will be available during the conference to advance ideas about improving how to manage decision-making under uncertainty and the network principals will propose new ways forward for research and practice. There will be a reflective plenary address from Professor John Kay. cruisse. ac.uk/events/event/cruisse-network- conference-2018
