"New kids on the block”? Youth environmental engagement and Fridays for Future. An intersectional and global perspective
REFNo: SS3040ES
This new environmental youth engagement as a young and quickly developing movement has not received in-depth academic attention, neither in the field of youth studies nor in social movement studies, especially not youth engagement in the Global South (see below). The motives of youth and their particular understandings of engagement remain insufficiently investigated. In addition, there is increasing criticism of youth environmental activism, namely that FFF is at least in Europe ‘white’ and supported by a well-educated middle-class elite leading to the accusation that it reproduces hierarchies (see below). However, there are hardly any academic studies that examine privileges, hierarchies and discrimination within FFF from an intersectional perspective. In order to respond to these research gaps an intersectional perspective is used to understand the motives and activism of youth in Austria, Bangladesh and Uganda and thereby their global interrelatedness. This scientifically necessary and timely research is also politically relevant since youth are acting at the forefront of environmental movements. In addition, youth engagement participants have become increasingly integrated into the international politics of the UN and are in dialogue with politicians. It can be argued further that youth engagement is not ‘just’ a certain stage of life but that it lays the foundation for transformation processes (Harré 2016; Riemer et al. 2016). Young advocates are frequently those taking up important political and social leadership in the future due to their interest and experience of advocacy (Giugni 1998; Leistner 2018): They are a “cohort of citizens who will be active participants in democracy” (Fischer 2019, 430).
Because a new youth activism emerged which is unique due to its global scope and the low average age new scientific perspectives are needed to analyse this phenomenon: A synthesis of youth and civil society studies combined with intersectionality and a comparative case study design offer an original analytical framework. This framework will provide in-depth knowledge on context-specific differences of youth engagement in Austria, Bangladesh and Uganda and commonalities of global youth activism and its activism towards ecological transformation. This research is needed scientifically because FFF is one of the major civil society players in global environmental politics and in manifold national contexts.

1.3 Study Aims
Therefore, this study aims to investigate the prevalence and correlates of alcohol use, drug use, dating violence (DV), depression, and sexually transmitted infections risk among University Students in Uganda.
Specific aims of the study include:
Aim 1: To determine the prevalence and correlates of alcohol use, drug use, and dating violence among students at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.
Hypothesis 1: Alcohol and DV risk profiles will be significantly different among male and female students and socio-demographics (age and sex, socio-economic status, and environmental factors).
Aim 2: To estimate the association between dating violence and sexually transmitted infections risk among students at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.
Hypothesis 2: The prevalence of HIV risk and sexually transmitted infections will be greater among science students compared to those from the arts and humanities.
Analysis: We will determine the risk factors for dating violence, Intimate Partner Violence, HIV risk, STIs
Aim 3: To determine the association between dating violence and depression among students at Makerere University.

After the flood: Optimal Strategies to Prevent Malaria Epidemics Caused by Severe Flooding
REFNo: HS5041ES
1. Determine the effectiveness of chemoprevention with or without peri-domestic larvicide application to reduce the incidence of P. falciparum malaria after severe flooding. 2. Elucidate the dynamics of vector populations, feeding behaviors, and sporozoite rate in affected villages up to one year after flooding. 3.Evaluate the relative cost-effectiveness of chemoprevention (Aim 3A) and assess social and economic impacts on households.,The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted, time-limited malaria chemoprevention intervention with and without complementary larval source management (LSM) to reduce excess disease burden in a perennial, high-transmission setting where severe flooding is frequent and relatively predictable. ,
