| Outline of Research at the Start |
The purpose of this research is to exmine an emergent literary genre, specifically nonfiction testimonies by former soldiers, including children, who have survived wars in sub-Saharan Africa. I shall observer the importance of Christian traditions of forgiveness and use these sources to tease out the ethical and psychological issues associated with trauma and forgiveness

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
My five-year job contract at Doshisha University came to an end as of 03/2022 and this has effectively meant that the third year of project funding cannot proceed. What I had envisaged as three full years of project funding now means only two, though these first two years have enabled me to obtain all primary sources and most secondary sources. I have scaled back my ambition for project outcomes and now envisage modest research achievements. These will likely take the form of a journal article and / or book chapter in an edited collection of scholarly essays.
