Educating institutions: A study of the influence of educated young women and men on local politics in Uganda
REFNo: SS232ES

In the Teso region of eastern Uganda there is a generation of young men and women in their twenties and thirties who are the first in their family to go to school. I want to investigate the effect this generation is having on local institutions – school committees, church groups, village courts, burial societies. What are the political entailments of education? Does education open up new paths to becoming influential? Does it help to reconfigure gender relations? Do educated youth approach politics in new ways? Available research on education in the developing world focuses on its economic impact, or on the spread of modern attitudes, particularly among male urban youth. Less is understood about the political consequences of education, or about the transformations taking place with the arrival of educated young men and, more especially, women, in the countryside.

Quantifying Foot Position During Quadrupedal Walking in Semi-Wild Chimpanzees
REFNo: NS65ES

The goal of this project is to be among the first studies to collect biomechanical walking data on a large number of individuals from semi-wild primates, including plantigrade and semi-digitigrade species to connect behavior to skeletal anatomy. Specifically in Uganda, to quantify/characterize the foot strike patterns in semi-wild chimpanzees throughout their gait cycle to assess its impact on their skeletal anatomy with implications for understand fossil primate locomotions.
