Lena Reim is a Departmental Lecturer at the Department of Politics and International Relations and a Politics Tutor at St Peter’s College. Her research focuses on political violence and resistance, with a regional focus on Southern and East Africa. Drawing primarily on oral historical and ethnographic methods, she centres grassroots politics and locally conceived notions of justice to illuminate the political repertoires, narratives, and subjectivities of those who often enter academic and policy discourse as passive victims.
