FAMILEA: The Remaking of the Family in East Africa
REFNo: SS2417ES
1.4.1 General objective
The FamilEA study in Kampala, Uganda, is part of a larger study that aims to map out the shifting family landscape of residents of East Africa (using Nairobi, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda as starting points), including family networks based outside the city, which is termed the family archipelago. Two main research questions will structure our empirical inquiry. First, how are parental and conjugal ties, as well as extended kinship ties, reinvented and adapted to the realities of urban life and socioeconomic change (single parenthood, links to kin in the village, relations with siblings, etc.), and are there vulnerabilities associated with such family changes? Second, do kinship ties necessarily encompass all family practices; which other ties appear in family-like configurations, and which evolving solidarity networks do academics and policymakers fail to give due consideration to?
1.4.2 Specific objectives
To answer questions in our main objective, we set up three specific objectives that correspond to disciplinary-empirical entry points:
1. To identify and categorize the diverse ways of doing families for active-age residents in Kampala Metropolitan through everyday practices/events in different types of ties/configurations, and related vulnerabilities.
2. To explore Ugandan family archipelagos, i.e., familyhood’s spatial and mobility dimensions, in urban zones as well as across various family islands up-country and how they relate to each other.
3. To employ a historical perspective to assess changes and the newness of contemporary family arrangements in Uganda.
