Exploring the implications of blockchain and other emerging technologies on refugee governance
REFNo: SS1622ES
My research will examine how blockchain and other emerging technologies are conceptualized, deployed, and operationalized within refugee settings. Using Kenya and Uganda as sites of analysis, the thesis will ask the following research questions: 1) How are blockchain and other technologies shaping the governance of refugees? 2) How do refugees engage with blockchain and other emerging technologies in their everyday lives? 3) What is at stake in these technological systems and practices when applied within humanitarian interventions?
The specific objectives that follow from these research questions are to: a) assess what can be learned from the deployment of blockchain and other emerging technologies b) examine how refugees understand and frame their engagement with such technologies and c) understand the visions and imaginaries of tech developers and humanitarian organizations and how they define their collaborative work. This research also considers how different actors (tech industry workers, corporate funders, UNHCR staff and refugees) understand, contribute to, and shape the discourse around blockchain and other technologies in humanitarian settings. This research will use several data collection methods based on empirical fieldwork in camp and non-camp settings and discourse analysis to capture the diverse perspectives of tech industry workers, corporate funders, UNHCR innovation staff, camp staff and refugees.

White Sisters, Nursing Practices, and Reproductive Health in East Africa, 1890-present
REFNo: SS1371ES
This research project comprises two sub-projects carried out by a senior researcher (PI – Prof. Dr. Hilde Bras who holds the Aletta Jacobs Chair in Economic and Social History, with special attention to Global Demography and Health at the University of Groningen), and a PhD student (Ivana Zecevic, MA), both working at the Department of History of the University of Groningen, Chair Group of Economic and Social History (ESH).
The project aims to contribute to the debate taking place among economic and social historians, historical demographers and medical historians about the historical legacies of colonialism for contemporary global health, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa (Doyle, 2013; Walters, 2008). What was the effect of the colonial presence, and of female missionaries in particular, on (reproductive) health in Africa? To what extent did missionary health care lead to changes in fertility (number of children per woman), maternal mortality, venereal diseases, and infant and child mortality and morbidity? Research within this debate has focused mainly on colonial state medicine and on doctors (Iliffe, 1998) and hardly on the role of the mission (but cf. Doyle et al., 2020; Jennings, 2006), mission nurses, and nursing care. Moreover the present project focuses on missionary nursing practices in relation to extant indigenous midwifery and nursing practices and explicitly foregrounds the relationship between the two.The overarching research question is: What are the nursing practices (related to maternal and child care) of missionary nurses (MSOLA), indigenous nurses, and missionary doctors and how are they related to fertility, morality, child and maternal health in East Africa, 1890-present?
