Julie Ndaya

Julie Ndaya is of Congolese birth and has an MA in Ethnic Studies from the Free University in Brussels. During her three-month fellowship at the ASC she prepared a PhD research proposal under the joint supervision of Prof. Wim van Binsbergen and Dr Rijk van Dijk, entitled 'Crushing the Past Underfoot: Strategies of Congolese Women in Identity Transition'. After the completion of her fellowship, Mrs Duran continued her relationship with the Globalisation theme group as an associate member. When her application proved unsuccessful, she decided to start on her research project anyway, and she presented the theme group with an extensive and rich preliminary report on her research findings at the end of 1999.
