Using Information Communication Technology (ICTs) to understand relationships between labour saving agriculture innovations, women’s time use and maternal and child nutrition outcomes in Uganda
REFNo: A24ES
1. To develop an innovative set of tools and metrics for measuring maternal time use and maternal and child dietary practices.
2. To assess the feasibility of using these tools - a computerised inter-active voice response (IVR) diary and a wearable camera - to assess women’s time use and maternal and infant dietary practices
3. To determine the concurrent criterion validity of these innovative methods via 15-hour direct observation; and compare it with traditional recall techniques
4. To describe and compare maternal time-use patterns, maternal and infant dietary practices and anthropometric status among women who are and who are not using labour saving technology for agriculture work

Piloting exercise: Evaluation of the impact of the ‘Solar Suitcase’ installation in healthcare facilities in Uganda on quality of care during labor and delivery and reliability of electricity.
REFNo: HS150ES
By conducting the pilot, we seek to gain a greater understanding of the nature of electricity reliability and deliveries in rural health facilities. The main objectives of the pilot include:
1) Obtain data on volume of deliveries, electricity failures, and baseline measures of quality of maternity care in order to run accurate power calculations for the upcoming research study
2) Test survey tools in the local context and refine the questions to gather data required for the upcoming research study
3) Test and validate light sensor equipment
4) Observe quality of work of field staff of various backgrounds to determine which qualifications and prior experience are best placed to collect data for the upcoming research study

The Entrepreneurial Spirit: Crafting subjects with regimented health and religion
REFNo: SS122ES
This project is intended to further the knowledge on HIV/AIDS, Catholicism, Non-Governmental Organizations, poverty, and work in a Ugandan context as globalization, greater access to medicine, and modernity change the cultural landscape. In addition to furthering scholarly knowledge, this project will also, ideally, help the site organization, Reach Out Mbuya remain relevant in the changing climates of donor funding, client needs, and HIV prevalence rates. Reach Out is a Catholic-based HIV/AIDS organization that seeks to provide holistic care to clients and their families through medical care, material support, subsistence projects, counseling, HIV prevention, and peer support. In Kampala, Reach Out has community sites in Mbuya, Banda, and Kinawatak; they also have an additional site in Kasaala. I will likely draw all of my participants from the Mbuya, Banda, and Kinawataka site locations; as a volunteer, I will spend most days at Mbuya, but also do work in Banda and Kinawataka sites weekly. Therefore, I will be more known to staff and clients at these locations, making recruiting participants smoother.
Building off literature that demonstrates how an HIV diagnoses affects a person’s sense of self and habits (Wekesa and Coast [2013]; McGrath et al [2014]); Whyte [2014]; Bartos and MacDonald [2000]), I propose that HIV, as well as comprehensive aid programs can have unique and varied affects on a person’s employment and livelihood. Adding to this argument, I will draw on literature dealing with subject formation (how a person’s identity and behaviours are formed and changed through processes and interactions), both in secular and Christian contexts (Foucault [2000]; Koopman [2013]; Skinner [2012]; Tambling [1990]; Norget, Napolitano, and Mayblin [2017]). Using this literature, I will argue that it is a combination of the regimented HIV/AIDS treatment schedule and Catholic belief and practice encouraged and facilitated by Reach Out that creates a socially responsible and productive subjects in their clients.
Working from this hypothesis, my project asks three primary questions: (1) How might being HIV positive affect an individual’s work, livelihood, and/or employment, and what role might religion play in the extent of these effects? (2) How does Reach Out’s comprehensive, holistic-based approach complement services provided by the government? (3) How does being HIV positive affect one’s social and/or economic standing, and one’s capability to remain in care?

We are Sons and Daughter of Bwoc: Refusal and Land Rights Protections in Rural Post-Conflict Acoliland, Northern Uganda.
REFNo: SS112ES
To understand: What do processes involved in writing a clan-based non-profit foundation’s constitution (in a previously oral tradition of indigenous governance) do for relatedness in the post-conflict, land-pressured context? After it is written, and circulated, what does the document do for relatedness in context? How does/can it mediate both between sons and daughters of the clan, and between clan members, National Government, and foreign companies, as examples? And finally, how do real and perceived land pressures impact ideas and practices of relatedness, and thus social repairing and particular notions of refusal, through time.
