How the presence of friends decreases fear and increases positive emotions: a comparative study between chimpanzees and humans
REFNo: SS351ES
The goal of this study is to analyse the impact of preferred social partners on emotional state in chimpanzees. We want to test whether the presence of a bond partner increases positive emotions when in a positive situation and decreases negative emotions when in negative situations in comparison to a non-bond partner presence. More specifically, fear is expected to decrease with the presence of a friend while joy is expected to increase.
A comparison with humans will be done in Switzerland afterwards and therefore will stand on a swiss permit.

Trauma Pollution: an ethnographic and historical theorization
REFNo: SS316ES
The study is part of a larger ethnographic project on the phenomenon of spiritual distress in contemporary northern Uganda, for which I collected the primary data from 2013-2014 (research approved by the UNSCST). This phase of research theorizes how cultural context affects the relationship between psychic trauma (broadly conceived) and ritual pollution (haunting, unwanted spirit possession, unusual illness, misfortune, etc.).
The study aims specifically to answer: How do the concepts of "trauma" (in English) and "ajwani" (in Acholi Luo; tentatively interpreted as "ritual pollution) interact discursively? How do contemporary Acholi people interpret the relationship or non-relationship between these two concepts? How have their interpretations changed or not changed since the British colonial (1900-1962) era and the era of humanitarian intervention (2005 to present)?
My objective is to examine the connection between "trauma" and "ritual pollution" in 1) current cultural context, by way of observations of and interviews with the Acholi people in Uganda with whom I conducted my primary fieldwork; and 2) by historical examination of the epistemological shifts surrounding ritual pollution and psychic woundedness in Uganda, by way of archival collections on religion and medicalization.
