- JOIN THE CONGO RESEARCH NETWORK We are establishing a community of researchers working on DR Congo across the Humanities, called the Congo Research Network. Who? We are concentrating on establishing a critical mass of scholars working on any aspect of Congolese culture from any of the Humanities disciplines. Why? There are a wide range of scholars working on the DR Congo and we feel that it is important for us all to meet both to share our ideas and benefit from other researchers’ input. The Network also aims to be an important source of information for media practitioners, who we envisage being able to consult us when they need information. And, finally, we hope that the Network will be able to facilitate ties with Congolese research communities and so act as a foundation for successful collaborative work between 'western' and Congolese scholars.
