Insects in the Tropics-Test Research (UNCST Team)
REFNo: A8ES
Learning about insects means entering a world of numbers! This is the most abundant animal type on earth, boasting almost 90 percent of all living things. Scientific estimates put the total number of species of insects worldwide up around the 30 million mark. In Australia we have already described over 86,000 species divided into 661 families, but there are likely to be thousands more insects waiting to be found and classified. If the abundance of insects in the Wet Tropics compared to the rest of Australia is similar to that of other animal types, then there are probably around 40,000 insect species hiding in the forests here.

Battles over boundaries. Contested devolution in Kenya and Uganda
REFNo: SS20ES
This project analyses how the politics of contested devolution influences inclusion and exclusion at the sub-national political level in two divided societies, Kenya and Uganda. In societies characterised by deep-running political divisions, inequalities and exclusion, the issue of how to organise and distribute political power impacts hugely on stability. Devolution of power and resources to sub-national entities is often promoted as a remedy for problems of exclusion. However, changes in territorial demarcation and relocation of authority set off struggles over who should exercise what power, how and where. At the same time, fluid political identities frequently conflict with the scope of territorial and authority structures. The projects aims to 1) analyse how the contestation over devolved power in Kenya and Uganda influences political inclusion and exclusion and 2) contribute to theoretical development with regard to how the above is shaped by the interplay between formal and informal institutions and boundaries

Violence and public health in East Africa, c.1950s-1980s
REFNo: SS9ES
This project represents the first historically-grounded analysis of the relationship between violence and public health in mid-twentieth century East Africa. It does so through three case studies, examining the impact of violence on the health of civilian populations and on public health responses during: Kenya’s Mau Mau rebellion (1952-9), the Rwenzururu movement in western Uganda (1960s and 1970s), and civil war in the Luwero Triangle (1982-6). The project will draw from archival material in Uganda’s National and District archives, the Kenya National Archives, and international organisations like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), UNICEF, and the World Health Organization (WHO).\r\n\r\nThe project's research objectives / questions are to determine:\r\n- To what extent did public health priorities shift during periods of collective and interpersonal violence?\r\n- How did public health officials and international organisations respond to problems of:\r\n - Infectious and communicable diseases\r\n - Water and sanitation\r\n - Nutritional diseases\r\n - Physical and psychological trauma\r\n - Access to healthcare\r\n- Who has been responsible for health during periods of collective and interpersonal violence?\r\n\r\nThrough these research questions, the project aims:\r\n- To broaden our understanding about the operation of public health in sub-Saharan Africa in the past\r\n- To shed new light on the dynamics of violence in East Africa since the 1950s\r\n- To extend our understanding of the emergence of violence as a global public health priority, and the role of East Africa within this\r\n\r\nA full research proposal is attached to this application.
