About Me

Zoe Cormack
I am a PhD student at the University of Durham. I work on the history of South Sudan. My research is mainly concerned with historical memory and the social construction of landscape in Warrap. This used to be about my field research, now its a collection of thoughts on writing and South Sudan (history, culture, art and representation). Please get in touch if you'd like to know more about what I am working on.
