Reversing colonial policies in the family: Societal Groups and the State Battle over Divorce in Uganda
REFNo: SS4823ES
1. How did the official positions touted by women’s activist groups during the 1995-2005 debates over the Domestic Relations Bill (DRB) on property distribution and no-fault divorce compare to the positions, perspectives, and inclinations held by representatives and rank-and-file members of these groups?
2. Religious discourse plays an important role in debates around the DRB, yet within religious communities, there is internal diversity. How is the diversity of perspectives and experiences of members of religious groups involved in the 1995-2005 debate?
3. For those who have lived through the 1995-2005 debate, what changes do they perceive in the development of public and private discourse over the years on issues of divorce, property division, and other related controversial topics?
4. For women who have divorced, sometimes called Nakyeyombekedde, what did they think and feel about the divorce reforms suggested during the 1995-2005 DRB campaign? Based on their experiences, observations, and values, what divorce programs do they suggest? Do they feel their voices are heard in these legal debates on divorce policy either in the past or today?

Assessing Road Impacts on Wildlife Communities and African Golden Cat Ecology in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda) Using Camera Trapping
REFNo: NS1140ES
This research will be conducted jointly by two MSc students under a shared research framework focusing on the effects of anthropogenic activities and environmental covariates on wildlife habitat use within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Both MSc students are working under unified institutional collaborations and supervisors, and share the image processing, field surveys and research timeline. The study will employ camera trapping and associated field methods to collect data relevant to both projects. While the data collection will be collaborative, each student will pursue an independent research question and produce a separate MSc thesis: one examining habitat use and drivers of density of Caracal aurata, and the other assessing the influence of Ruhija road on wildlife. This collaborative approach maximizes research efficiency, reduces duplication of field effort, and enhances the value of the dataset for conservation management while maintaining distinct academic outputs.
Primary Objective:
To evaluate how road infrastructure and human disturbance influence terrestrial vertebrate communities and the species specific ecology of the African golden cat in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Additionally, some of the first density estimates of the African golden cat will be produced for this area in collaboration with an existing camera trapping grid by Embaka.
Specific Objectives:
1. Quantify species richness, composition, and diel activity differences between roadside and interior forest habitats.
2. Identify ecological and anthropogenic factors predicting wildlife sensitivity to roads.
3. Quantify the impacts of habitat variables on habitat use of the African golden cat
using occupancy models.
4. Estimate the density of Caracal aurata in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park using
SECR.

Extensive pig husbandry as a novel approach to primate conservation and sustainable use of African rainforest
REFNo: NS1142ES
1.Assess the degree and nature of human–wildlife conflict involving primate species—particularly the Eastern chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii)—through engagement with local communities, especially farmers affected by crop raiding.
2.Investigate the use of domestic pigs by local communities, including:
