(Re-)ordering Meaning and Masculinities in Holland and Uganda: the Gender Transformative Approach
REFNo: SS127ES
For many years research and development interventions towards gender equality have focused on women and their empowerment. Recently discourse seems to have shifted to include the engagement of men and boys towards gender equality. Through multi-sited ethnography this project examines how the idea of the Gender Transformative Approach travels and is (re-)ordered between different nodes of a distributed knowledge network. Rutgers, a Dutch NGO, acts as a major node in this global knowledge network and is the main ethnographic site (i.e. organizational ethnography of the NGO in Holland). Other research sites are Uganda and Malawi, where Rutgers' development partners operationalise GTA through various development interventions.
Objective of the study is to find out, through multi-sited ethnography, what the Gender Transformative Approach really does. Is the engagement of men for gender equality really changing gender relations to be more equal, as it claims it is, or is it old wine in new bottles as some within the women’s movement claim (i.e. is it doing more than women’s empowerment?). The study will also hold a critical development perspective and will critically look at any unintended effects of the interventions.

Gendered Decisions and Dynamics in Eastern Africa
REFNo: SS109ES
This research is for my PhD dissertation and potentially a book or articles. My central research question asks how the attitudes and behavior of non-state armed organizations (NSAOs) towards women and girls relate to the NSAO’s broad strategy. My framework will examine four aspects of gendered strategy: 1) the role women and girls fill within NSAOs; 2) whether NSAOs use forced marriage or other regulations of relationships as a strategy; 3) how the treatment of civilian women and girls, specifically the use of gender-based violence (GBV), relates to the objectives of the NSAO; and 4) how these organizations discuss gender in their external communications. My two case studies are al-Shabaab formed in Somalia and the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda.

Life After Return – Revisiting the Reintegration of Former Lord’s Resistance Army Abductees in Acholiland Region of Northern Uganda
REFNo: SS130ES
The key objective of this study is to increase knowledge on the reintegration process in post-conflict situations in general and the reintegration of former Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) abductees in particular.
This research gives voice to the former LRA abductees regarding their experiences of reintegration. The objective is to find out which factors have either promoted or prevented their process of integration back to society along the years, as it has been now a decade since the conflict in northern Uganda ended. Therefore, this study seeks to offer information on the challenges and successes that the former abductees have faced along their reintegration process, relying on their own experiences as the main source of data.
In addition, one of the objectives of this study is to gather data for the investigator’s Master’s thesis.

Youth, Humanitarianism, Security, and the Future in Northern Uganda
REFNo: SS131ES
The objective of this research is to better understand how the problematic positioning of young people in post-conflict settings affects prospects for peace-building as well as social integration more broadly. In so doing, it seeks to contribute to knowledge about how humanitarianism transforms in the aftermath of war and how young people navigate some of the myriad interventions which follow. In addition, it takes care to consider these concerns from the perspective of young people themselves, paying close attention to their own attempts to generate a livelihood in their contemporary lives.

Human security among South Sudanese self-settled refugees in Uganda: strategies of access to basic services
REFNo: SS138ES
The overall objective of the study is to investigate the perception of human security, particularly in its ‘freedom from want’ form, of refugees living in contexts characterised by resource scarcity and fragility through a specific case-study focusing on South Sudanese refugees in Ugandan West Nile province.
The study will focus on the access basic services (education, health, water, sanitation) of the refugee population. Attention will be paid not only to the refugee population living in refugee settlements, but also to ‘self-settled’ refugees. The project will aim to assess:
- (Self-settled) refugees’ strategies of interaction with the host community and local authorities;
- The link between refugees’ perceptions of human security and local governance mechanisms.
