More exciting news on the Development and Conflict Summer School is that Dr Maya Goodfellow, a colleague on the MSc VCD programme will be lecturing on gender and conflict, and will also be leading a skills session on journalism and conflict.
Maya wrote her PhD on "Race and processes of racialisation in British international development discourse (1997-2017)," and is a leading light in the SOAS decolonisation work. She is a regular contributor to The Guardian newspaper and has written for the New York Times, New Statesman, Al Jazeera and the Independent. She has also made several television appearances (BBC, Sky News and Al Jazeera) and is the author of "Hostile Environment. How immigrants became scapegoats" (Verso books).

We will also be joined by Catherine Lee, an international development worker and award-winning filmmaker, who has
experience in 18 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Catherine will be leading a session on documentary filmmaking.
After studying at the Harvard Kennedy School and Yale University, Catherine
worked for a decade with the UN, World Bank, Clinton Foundation, and
others to understand and affect behavior leading to injustices. Increasingly convinced that pathos not logos was missing for sustaining change, Catherine began filmmaking. Her directorial debut premiered
at the Tribeca Film Festival and her producorial debut won accolades
including the FPA Media Award for Best Arts/Culture Story. Her work has been featured on/at Channel 4, National Geographic, The Atlantic, Yahoo, the MoMA in New York, UN in Geneva, and festivals and universities across 3 continents. Catherine is currently directing-producing East Africa-focused motion picture including a documentary of a child soldier turned PhD student and inter-tribal activist jailed by his president in the world’s “youngest, most broken country.”
Her previous stories include a violinist’s attempt to hold a joint
North-South Korean concert straddling their border and refugees as
reality TV stars. While
filmmaking, Catherine has continued to consult to international
organizations, most recently to UNICEF in East Africa as an M&E
specialist advising projects on assessing the results of combatting
female genital mutilation, early child marriage, and violence in
schools.
