Electronic Waste Recycling and Environmental Policy in East Africa
REFNo: SS3908ES
Many cities across the global south are rapidly urbanizing and confronting increasing levels of wastes. This poses a challenge for cities’ infrastructural capacity. This project asks how cities and states adapt to rapid population growth and the byproducts of growing industrial sectors, and the wastes these growing forces bring. Batteries and consumer electronics are ubiquitous in daily life, yet the fate of these products once they reach the end of their lives remains understudied. This study seeks to understand how city and state governments make decisions on how to recycle these electronic wastes, how governments work with private sector actors to engineer recycling infrastructures, and where environmental externalities from the increased volumes of electronic wastes end up. This study examines state and city policy surrounding recycling and environmental protection, as well as metal recycler’s strategies for recycling electronic wastes in Kampala, Uganda. One objective of the study is to understand how governments and private recyclers separate electronic wastes from the general overall waste stream. Futhermore, the study seeks to understand different models for recycling electronic wastes once these wastes have been separated.

The role of emotional feedback in the acquisition of culture and the transmission of knowledge in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
REFNo: NS965ES
Overall goal - Tackle the impact of affective processes, particularly emotions, in the acquisition of cultural knowledge in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Ultimately, as part of a joint research, decipher the evolutionary roots of how human cultures developed to such a different extent compared to our closest relatives.
Objectives:
- Investigate longitudinally how young chimpanzees acquire knowledge in their first years of life about the environment or their social group through the emotional reactions of their closest kin (their mother).
- Investigate the material side of cultural knowledge transmission: experimentally assess the possibility of measuring the influence of emotional reactions in the mother on the exploration of novel stimuli in young chimpanzees and how this impacts their knowledge acquisition.
