How are student leavers’ combined capabilities being developed and/or restricted as they transition out of a Roman Catholic missionary school education in Uganda?: An ethnographic study
REFNo: SS42ES
Educational Research - Girls' Secondary Education in a Religious Institution\r\n\r\n• Understand how student leavers are transitioning out of secondary education into the world, be it into employment, marriage, further education or a combination of the above through the transitioning girls’ own perspectives with context provided by the congregation leadership, school authorities, families, and alumnae;\r\n• Learn how the school is preparing them for their post-secondary school lives;\r\n• Give voice and autonomy to female African students to assess the quality of their educational experience, a voice that is virtually absent from the academic literature; and\r\n• Develop a methodological example that supports Sub-Saharan African educational institutions (including missionary educators and NGOs) to assess the institution's ability to develop student capabilities in a manner that gives dignity to the educational experience and informs the increasingly prioritised education goals in international development discourses.\r\n

Understanding the need for inoculation of common in Uganda
REFNo: A12ES
Objective 1: Determine the abundance and diversity of indigenous rhizobia nodulating common bean in Uganda and the factors influencing them. This will be achieved by establishing if uninoculated soil from different Agroecological zones (AEZ) differ in the ability to support effective nitrogen fixation and if this difference is related to the abundance and composition of the native rhizobial population.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 1.1: Estimate the population density of indigenous rhizobia in different soils and determine the effect of the soil properties on the rhizobial population.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 1.2: Determine the rhizobial composition in different soils and factors that influence it.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 1.3: Determine the effectiveness of nitrogen fixation of rhizobial populations derived from different soils and factors that influence it.\r\n\r\nObjective 2: Determine the competitiveness of indigenous rhizobial populations from different soils with respect to current strains used for bean inoculation.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 3: Test effectiveness, adaptability and competitiveness of the identified superior indigenous rhizobia under greenhouse conditions.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 4: Test effectiveness, adaptability and competitiveness

Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: interrelationships with Batwa and other local communities.
REFNo: SS24ES
This proposed research project is a dissertation project that will focus on increasing our understanding of the relationships between mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) and varied local human communities living around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. Despite over 50 years of research on mountain gorillas, little is known about their traditional importance to local communities. I ask the following research questions: (1) How have the relationships between mountain gorillas and various local communities changed over time with conservation management and resettlement practices? (2) How can the integration of local knowledge enhance the participation of local communities in the scientific process, management, and conservation of protected spaces? (3) How do current human-gorilla interactions shape local people’s perceptions of mountain gorillas in Bwindi? I anticipate that findings will show that farmers who must guard their crops without harming gorillas and displaced hunter-gatherers who are cut off from their resource base will have different understandings of and conflicts with wildlife. I also anticipate that findings will increase the longevity of this species (Gorilla beringei beringei) by providing a deeper understanding of the complex associations between gorillas and humans sharing mosaic edge habitats.
