Towards a Decolonial Understanding of Peace Education in Uganda: Unpacking Ugandan Teachers’ Perspectives in Central and Northern Regions
REFNo: SS1889ES
[General objectives]
This study is dedicated to developing a nuanced understanding of how local teachers in central and northern Uganda conceptualise peace education differently, given the complexities of the dissimilar history of conflicts in these regions. Through the research, the following two themes will be examined in a critical postcolonial and decolonising manner. First, the research will delve into how the experiences of violent conflicts differ between the central and northern regions of Uganda, which will be conducted through a thorough literature review. Second, it will identify the mechanisms through which current peace education has been introduced, either as thematic areas of the national curriculum or initiatives supported and implemented by Western organisations. This theme will be further supported by conducting interviews.
Thus, the primary focus of this research is to gain a fruitful insight into the existing practice of peace education and initiatives in Uganda, and how it can be designed if introduced as a separate subject of the national curriculum from primary levels.
[Specific objectives]
1. To investigate how teachers in central and northern Uganda conceptualise peace education and to what extent and in what ways any differences between their conceptualisations manifest.
2. To explore the perspectives of Ugandan teachers on Western interventionism in peace education and how such interventions influence their approach to teaching peace education.

Stories from the Substrate: East African History from the Soil
REFNo: SS1870ES
“Stories from the Substrate” takes shape around several research questions but most fundamentally it asks: What might the history of East Africa look like if we start from the soil? Starting from the soil suggests a point of view, and a trajectory as well as a subject. Together, this offers an opportunity to rework some of the well-trod territory of East African historiography, highlighting new themes and subjects. In African history, scholars have overwhelmingly trained their attention on people and events rather than thinking from and with nonhuman things. What then, comes into focus when we work from the soil, bringing together unlikely stories from which to consider the region’s history? Divided into three parts, this project gathers twentieth century histories of how East Africans have been engaged with animals, plants, and minerals through the substrate.[2] Together, these histories reveal narratives of labor, health, science, and environments by focusing on everyday negotiations of life in the region. Working from government archives, scientific studies, travelers accounts, and oral history interviews to write a series of thematic chapters, this project looks to the relationship between people and soil to build a non-elite history of the region. In starting from the soil, this project is important not just for the stories and actors it highlights, but also what it decenters. In the case of East Africa, this means eliding the ethnic and racial logics of the colonial archive, decentering political events and figures that have dominated the region’s historiography, and reworking narratives of environmental change that centre on colonial development schemes.

PILOTING TESTING OF POINT OF CARE DIAGNOSTICS TO IMPROVE DIAGNOSIS OF MICROBIAL KERATITIS IN UGANDA.
REFNo: HS2719ES
1. Our overall aim is to improve the diagnosis of the type of MK (bacterial or fungal) at secondary-level facilities in Uganda. We will do this by comparing several novel alternative point of care diagnostic tests in a phased tertiary level and secondary level approach.
2. Assess the diagnostic performance (relative diagnostic yield, time to diagnosis, uptake, and ease of use) of the alternative point-of-care tests in three secondary units in Uganda.,1. Measure the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of these tests carried out by general ophthalmic clinic personnel, compared to a composite reference standard and the ocular microbiologist at the tertiary unit in Uganda.
3. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of several novel alternative diagnostic tests compared to a composite reference standard. Novel tests to be compared include calcofluor White + KOH, smartphone-based fluorescence microscopy, and the isothermal amplification test. The tests will be conducted by an ocular microbiologist at the tertiary unit in Uganda.

Adapting and Piloting a Survivor-Led Case Management Tool ("Freedom Greenlight")
REFNo: SS1827ES
2. The research aims to pilot the Freedom Greenlight tool in Uganda. There are two phases to the research project. Phase 1 - Tool Adaptation (Nearly Completed) During Phase 1, we aimed to validate the usage of the Freedom Greenlight tool in Uganda. Key Willow personnel and survivors participated in a workshop with these guiding questions: 1. Which word choices, images, and indicators from the global Freedom Greenlight are culturally recognizable and contextually relevant? Which need to be adapted for relevance to the Uganda context, and in what way? 2. Which locally relevant indicators should be added to the tool when it is used by Willow’s Uganda-based aftercare program? All adaptations are reviewed by research personnel, experts in the Greenlight methodology, and a clinical psychologist. The adaptations will be incorporated into the tool before Phase 2 begins. Phase 2 - Pilot Freedom Greenlight (Duration: Enroll participants for six months beginning in November/December 2022; collect endline data through November 2023) We will pilot the tool, using random assignment of participants in order to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Freedom Greenlight case management tool compared to current standards of care. We are interested in learning how the Freedom Greenlight process impacts well-being, economic outcomes, and reintegration outcomes. Interviews will be conducted to further understand case managers’ and participants’ experiences with the Freedom Greenlight,1.
