On the emergence of a "post-postcolonial" political imaginary in Uganda
REFNo: SS1282ES

MAIN OBJECTIVES 1. Gain deeper insights into the role that historical-political narratives play in political and social transformation processes, 2. Achieve a better understanding of the transformative potential of political movements in terms of their concrete strategies, practices, and (media) performances, 3. Determine the extent to which the new political forces and developments in Uganda might indicate the emergence of a fundamentally new social and political formation characterized by a move away from a postcolonial and toward a "post-postcolonial" societal self-conception and political imaginary. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES a) Provide a comprehensive account of which historical-political narratives are currently being (re)produced and disseminated in the education sector and which alternative narratives might appear in this context and could be of relevance to A-level and university students. b) Describe how youths and young adults in Uganda today (re)interpret, (re)evaluate and (re)classify events of their country's political past and present and how they might aim to utilize and apply these altered / newly constructed historical-political narratives in and for the formation of their identities as political actors and citizens of the Ugandan nation-state. c) Delineate how these newly emerging historical-political narratives possibly differ from the hitherto dominant narratives and explain how they might seek to provide an alternative to the hitherto dominant historical-political stories and to the current political status quo.

Exploring Human Origins in the Albertine Rift Valley, Uganda
REFNo: SS1257ES

This project will conduct paleoanthropological research in central Africa, at fossil sites located near the shores of Lake Albert in the western branch of the Rift in western Uganda (Albertine Rift). Our goal is to investigate the diversity of adaptive challenges faced by early human ancestors, in order to better understand the forces driving human evolution. We will document the distribution and age of sites, collect and describe new fossil and archaeological evidence, and re-examine previous collections in the Uganda Museum. Drawing on the team’s expertise in innovative approaches in archaeology, paleoecology, and geochronology, we aim to renew human origins research in this underexplored region.
