Rethinking the local–international dichotomy in relation for refugee protection and assistance: the politics of practice in managing South Sudanese displacement
REFNo: SS222ES
This research is being carried out as part of the researcher's PhD in International Development at SOAS, University of London. The central academic objective it to understand the governance system for refugee protection and assistance in relation to South Sudanese displacement in Kenya and Uganda. This research is focusing on the interactions between actors as well as how policy-making and decision-making is conducted. In doing so this research intends to rethink and rectify how notions of interaction between the ‘local’ and the ‘international’ are conceptualised and operationalised by refugee protection and assistance regime actors through utilising an approach known as the ‘politics of practice’: the micro- and macro-scale interactions, routines, and strategies exhibited by and between actors which collectively constitute a governance regime.

The Economics of Women Entrepreneurs: Experimental Evidence from Street Business School in Uganda
REFNo: SS223ES
The goal of the proposed study is to answer the questions, “Does a holistic entrepreneurship program lead to increases in income for women?†and "Does allowing women to select into one-on-one mentoring rather than mandating it for all women alter program outcomes?"
In addition, we propose to measure intergenerational spillovers of SBS, as we believe that being closely related to a woman participating in the program may translate into attitudinal and behavioral changes for children that go beyond income effects. We are interested in the following questions relating to intergenerational spillovers: (1) Do current educational and employment opportunities change for children closely connected to SBS women? (2) Do future educational and employment goals change for children closely connected to SBS women? (3) Do children’s social networks change to include more women affiliated with SBS? (4) Are these effects attributable solely to increases in income? (5) Are these effects heterogenous in (i) age of the child at the time of SBS or (ii) gender of the child?
