Infant-directed vocalizations in Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
REFNo: NS272ES
There is clear evidence that surrounding and directed vocalizations have a part in the development of the vocal competence of infants. What part each input plays in vocal development is, however, unclear. As such, the overall aim of this study is to investigate further on the presence and the roles of the different vocal inputs available during the vocal development of wild eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii). More precisely, the study sets out to identify infant-directed vocalizations and characterize its acoustic and structural properties as well as investigate on its function in respect to ISV on the three different levels of vocal acquisition (see Table 1 for a summary of the hypotheses): production, comprehension and usage (Seyfarth & Cheney, 2010).
This study is part of a wider initiative which sets out to understand the evolution of human language and consequently the evolution of the learning mechanisms set in place in parallel throughout closely related species.

On the emergence of a "post-postcolonial" political imaginary in Uganda
REFNo: SS1282ES
MAIN OBJECTIVES
1. Gain deeper insights into the role that historical-political narratives play in political and social transformation processes,
2. Achieve a better understanding of the transformative potential of political movements in terms of their concrete strategies, practices, and (media) performances,
3. Determine the extent to which the new political forces and developments in Uganda might indicate the emergence of a fundamentally new social and political formation characterized by a move away from a postcolonial and toward a "post-postcolonial" societal self-conception and political imaginary.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
a) Provide a comprehensive account of which historical-political narratives are currently being (re)produced and disseminated in the education sector and which alternative narratives might appear in this context and could be of relevance to A-level and university students.
b) Describe how youths and young adults in Uganda today (re)interpret, (re)evaluate and (re)classify events of their country's political past and present and how they might aim to utilize and apply these altered / newly constructed historical-political narratives in and for the formation of their identities as political actors and citizens of the Ugandan nation-state.
c) Delineate how these newly emerging historical-political narratives possibly differ from the hitherto dominant narratives and explain how they might seek to provide an alternative to the hitherto dominant historical-political stories and to the current political status quo.
