Epidemics in Refugee Settlements: An ethnographic exploration of ‘Preparedness’ in Palabek Refugee Settlement, Northern Uganda, during times of COVID-19
REFNo: SS745ES
The objective of this study is to understand how epidemic ‘preparedness’ in refugee settlements can pay greater attention to histories, ideas and practices from refugees themselves. Through ethnographic research, including, but not restricted to, fieldwork in Palabek Refugee Settlement, northern Uganda, during times of COVID-19, the connections and disconnections between global policy, biomedical approaches, and ‘preparedness from below’ will be explored as equal objects of study.
