Determining methods to assess the impact of human activity on stress behaviour of free-ranging Leopards (Panthera pardus) and Lions (Panthera leo) in Queen-Elizabeth NP, Uganda
REFNo: NS390ES
The aim of the proposed research project is to determine behavioural criteria in leopards and lions that correlate with their current stress levels, especially if caused by human proximity. Knowledge derived from this study can help determine and prevent harmful human impact on large cats, as for example by tourism or construction work.

The Aftermath of Slavery in Uganda
REFNo: SS1049ES
This project aims to;1) establish what happened to the thousands of slaves present in Uganda in ca. 1880 and to their descendants over the twentieth century, 2) to explain why the aftermath of slavery is so little discussed in the written sources and historiography of the region, and 3) to trace the social and political legacies of slavery up to the present. The research will help stake holders have knowledge and understanding of historical events/processes, learn from the past and identify vulnerable communities and the way they navigate life. It will help us to understand how society was organized, rediscover forgotten men and women who lived through one of the most challenging times of our lives and advance knowledge about vulnerable groups.
