Studying Kitabna's work and storytelling through academic lenses...

​​ 

​Since Kitabna was founded in 2014, various people have undertaken postgraduate academic studies of our work at universities such as King's College, London, The Graduate Institute Geneva, Switzerland, the University of Hamburg and SOAS University of London. Even some of the Kitabna team have done this! We have created this page to showcase their research, and contextualise Kitabna's work in various geographical regions in the fields of international development, humanitarian assistance, transitional justice and children's literature. 

We hope by sharing these studies, other practitioners and scholars in this field can understand further the uses of storytelling in post-conflict and transitional societies.
