Bacterial and Host Heterogeneity in TB latency, persistence and progression
REFNo: HS3039ES
Objective 1: Determine the extent to which household transmission is responsible for co-prevalent and incident TB cases caused by Mtb strains that are genetically distinct from those isolated from the index cases within the same household.
Objective 2: Investigate the in vitro immune phenotype of transmitted versus not-transmitted Mtb strains in households stratifying for HIV status.
Objective 3: Characterize the innate macrophage response to high and low transmission strains and the T-cell response in persons with known household exposure to high and low transmission isolates and the impact of HIV infection.
Objective 4: Identify the component of Mtb genes that aid in bacterial survival in aerosols.
Objective 5: Investigate the bacterial factors underlying divergence in the host response to high and low transmission isolates.
Objective 6: Determine the impact of Mtb strain phenotype (eg Mtb-HT v Mtb-LT) and host heterogeneity (risk of progression signatures, co-morbidities) on:
6.1. The distribution of stages of Mtb infection and disease in exposed HHC: the proportion of MTBI that express PREDICT29, a risk of progression signature; ACS-COR, an inflammatory signature; subclinical TB and active TB.
6.2. The risk and timing of progression from MTBI to TB.
6.3. The extent and nature (eg cavitation) of pulmonary disease in TB index cases; the duration of inflammation; and the consequent short- and long-term impairment in pulmonary function.
These studies could permit the development of individualized approaches based on the host and the bacterium to diagnosis, targeting of preventive therapy, and treatment of active TB.
Objective 7: Profile the lung milieu among individuals infected with either Mtb-HT or Mtb-LT in order to identify immune mediators associated with transmission heterogeneity.

Between Emerald Worlds: Analyzing the Spiritual, Ritual, and Pharmacological Facets of Neuroactive Natural Materials in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS1894ES
Research questions to be addressed by this project: 1) How do various indigenous communities in Uganda understand, use, and prepare neuroactive plants, fungi, and other natural materials for spiritual, ritual, and ceremonial purposes and within their healthcare systems; 2) can the pharmacological targets of these materials be identified, and what active ingredients are causing the claimed effects; 3) can animal self-medication evidence for the use of neuroactive materials by the apes be generated for the first time; and 4)how to develop and to distinguish best-practice models for the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol for both non-financial and financial benefit-sharing when the intellectual property holders are either a) members of local human populations or b) apes (an unprecedented case)?
Main objective: To help fill gaps in social and natural scientific research on neuroactive natural remedies in a region of the world about which very few ethnopharmacological studies on the use of neuroactive natural remedies exist.
Specific objectives: 1) The first-time documentation of the cultural, spiritual, and ritual use of neuroactive natural remedies in rural Uganda, including methods of preparation and administration in a cultural, potentially ceremonial, setting; 2) the identification of new bioactive substance leads on the basis of the archiving of the chemical biodiversity of the collected samples; 3) the generation of new knowledge on how different populations interpret the spiritual/ritual settings of various neuroactive natural materials; 4) the contribution of new insights into the benefits of neuroactive natural remedies with respect to mental health and societal well-being; 5) a deeper understanding of the importance/intentions of various neuroactive substances for spiritual and ritual purposes within cultural worldviews; 6) the investigation of potential overlap in the use of neuroactives between humans and non-human primates at the study sites; 7) the shifting of negative Western views on neuroactive substances as stimulants/sedatives and rightfully DEA Schedule I substances.

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.

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.
