Refuge in the Spirit: Religion in the Lives of Congolese Refugees
REFNo: SS1915ES
The project will investigate the significance of religion at different junctures of the Congolese refugee experience. We will conduct interviews among those still living in refugee camps in Kenya and Burundi, as well as among those who have left the camps — either to be repatriated to Congo, or to be resettled in the United States. We will look at the role of mainstream, transnational, internationally connected religious communities as well as smaller, non-denominational, and independent churches. This multi-sited, multi-confessional (i.e., concerning multiple religious identities) approach will allow us to feature a diversity of refugee perspectives and offer a more comprehensive understanding of refugee experiences than can be found in existing studies. At the same time, our qualitative, oral history/ethnographic approach to the research will allow us to highlight the many contingencies of individual experience and consider how other aspects of refugee identity — such as gender, age, or ethnicity — intersect with religion. Thus, this research seeks to attain the following specific objectives:
1. To establish and document from lived experiences of Congolese refugees the ways in which they navigate their flight experiences.
2. To understand the role religion and/or spirituality play in the lives of Congolese refugees (or repatriated refugees) in different geographic locations (USA, Kenya, Burundi, and Congo)
3. To analyze different refugees’ resilience mechanisms in coping with their flight experiences.

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.
