In the Image of God: Christianity and Disability
REFNo: SS11ES
My research investigates the ideas and practices related to disability that arise within Christian disability ministries in Uganda, where they have become major providers of care and support (housing, advocacy, education, etc.). My research will answer the following questions: 1) In what sense are people with disabilities understood as made in the “image of God� What ideas about disability, models of disabled personhood, and practices of disability sociality and politics do Christian groups in Uganda enact? 2) Why are Christian disability-focused efforts flourishing? 3) What catalyzed the rise of disability ministries? To what extent have ideas and practices centering on disability changed in recent Ugandan history in the context of Christian engagements with disability?

Red Colobus Monkey Reproduction and Conservation
REFNo: NS55ES
Long-term studies of wild primate populations are important for understanding how species adjust to environmental pressures and for examining models of our evolutionary past. My project uses the endangered red colobus monkey (Procolobus rufomitratus) of Kibale National Park, Uganda, as a model to understand how ecological stressors impact reproductive function, sexual behaviors, feeding ecology, and survival. Recent increases in hunting pressure and disease outbreaks have changed the selective pressures facing the Kanyawara red colobus monkeys. My previous work with these monkeys documented differences in behaviors and physiology for red colobus living in different habitats. Conducting further research on these animals will help to answer important questions about both endangered species and evolutionary processes. I request permission to study the behavioral and physiological responses of red colobus monkeys to ecological pressures. Specifically, I aim to: 1) re-evaluate the variation in reproductive and adrenal hormones of individuals living in different habitats, 2) examine behavioral variation over time of individuals in response to pressures from both hunting and disease outbreaks, and 3) monitor demographic changes and the health of this population. Long-term comparisons of the behavior and physiology of these individuals will provide data on the ability for primates to adjust to environmental changes.

Violence and public health in East Africa, c.1950s-1980s
REFNo: SS9ES
This project represents the first historically-grounded analysis of the relationship between violence and public health in mid-twentieth century East Africa. It does so through three case studies, examining the impact of violence on the health of civilian populations and on public health responses during: Kenya’s Mau Mau rebellion (1952-9), the Rwenzururu movement in western Uganda (1960s and 1970s), and civil war in the Luwero Triangle (1982-6). The project will draw from archival material in Uganda’s National and District archives, the Kenya National Archives, and international organisations like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), UNICEF, and the World Health Organization (WHO).\r\n\r\nThe project's research objectives / questions are to determine:\r\n- To what extent did public health priorities shift during periods of collective and interpersonal violence?\r\n- How did public health officials and international organisations respond to problems of:\r\n - Infectious and communicable diseases\r\n - Water and sanitation\r\n - Nutritional diseases\r\n - Physical and psychological trauma\r\n - Access to healthcare\r\n- Who has been responsible for health during periods of collective and interpersonal violence?\r\n\r\nThrough these research questions, the project aims:\r\n- To broaden our understanding about the operation of public health in sub-Saharan Africa in the past\r\n- To shed new light on the dynamics of violence in East Africa since the 1950s\r\n- To extend our understanding of the emergence of violence as a global public health priority, and the role of East Africa within this\r\n\r\nA full research proposal is attached to this application.

Mosque Mapping Survey
REFNo: SS385ES
Religious institutions play an important role in the daily lives of Ugandans, as in other African countries. Yet, we understand little about the influence of religious institutions on social and political outcomes. This project focuses on the sway of Muslim religious institutions in shaping the opinions and behaviors of congregants. Specifically, we will study how mosques communicate with congregants, what types of messages they deliver, and how messages shape the attitudes and behaviors of congregants.
The research objectives of this project are to:
• Examine variation in sermons, including topics, religious citations, and tone.
• Assess how mosque and imam characteristics influence the nature of sermons.
• Explore how sermons shape congregant religious, social, and political attitudes and behaviors.

Examining the costs and benefits of sanitation infrastructure and access and associated decision-making frameworks within Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: SIR4ES
The purpose of this study is to examine the costs and benefits of improved sanitation facilities, such as flush toilets, which are shared among multiple households compared to improved sanitation facilities private to a single household. Within this purpose, I will investigate the relevance of distinguishing between shared and private sanitation from local household perspectives, landlord perspectives, and decision-making or planning perspectives. The costs and benefits associated with shared and private sanitation will also be explored to further understand the motivations underlying the stated relevance of sanitation access level within low-income settlements of Kampala, Uganda. Within the study, two underlying research questions will help define future research studies and highlight locally important aspects of sanitation planning and household choices: (1) Which key factors drive the cost-benefit differences between shared and private sanitation options? And (2) how can data availability issues be overcome to develop relevant and valid cost and benefit estimations for Kampala, Uganda?\r\n\r\nThe overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the costs and benefits of shared versus private improved sanitation infrastructure within the setting of Kampala, Uganda. Under this goal, we have a number of study objectives, where we hope to improve understanding both for academic advancement and local knowledge advancement.  \r\n\r\nThese objectives are:\r\n - identify the sanitation facility options from multiple stakeholder viewpoints – tenants, landlords, sanitation experts;\r\n - review proposed cost-benefit framework and categories within the local context;\r\n - consolidate and review secondary-data on shared and private sanitation within Kampala slums;\r\n - evaluate the potential benefit-transfer validity both for local secondary data as well as foreign study data; and\r\n - evaluate the validity of benefit-estimation methods, including hedonic regression analysis, contingent valuation survey, and discrete choice experiment, within the local context to potentially replace or supplement benefit-transfer values.\r\n\r\nThese objectives cover multiple important aspects of the sanitation and potentially broader development field. Currently, cost-benefit analyses are an important part of the United Sates’ and many developed-countries’ policy-evaluation processes. However, the application of this method to decisions in developing countries is less common. When cost-benefit analyses have been conducted on sanitation policies or projects in developing countries, the focus has been on extreme shifts, such as moving households from open defecation to a private toilet and septic tank, or analyses have relied on crude data or transfers of value from other settings with limited validation. This study will review the validity of such value estimation approaches within Kampala and seek to understand the potential relevance of cost-benefit analyses to more marginal decisions, specifically households transitioning to shared versus private sanitation.

Battles over boundaries. Contested devolution in Kenya and Uganda
REFNo: SS20ES
This project analyses how the politics of contested devolution influences inclusion and exclusion at the sub-national political level in two divided societies, Kenya and Uganda. In societies characterised by deep-running political divisions, inequalities and exclusion, the issue of how to organise and distribute political power impacts hugely on stability. Devolution of power and resources to sub-national entities is often promoted as a remedy for problems of exclusion. However, changes in territorial demarcation and relocation of authority set off struggles over who should exercise what power, how and where. At the same time, fluid political identities frequently conflict with the scope of territorial and authority structures. The projects aims to 1) analyse how the contestation over devolved power in Kenya and Uganda influences political inclusion and exclusion and 2) contribute to theoretical development with regard to how the above is shaped by the interplay between formal and informal institutions and boundaries

What matters, where and how – evidence-informed policy networks and the making of knowledge in global health
REFNo: SSH2ES
With the WHO as an early and influential proponent, evidence-based/-informed health policy approaches have become something of a shibboleth, separating the good from the bad in global health decision-making and deemed indispensable to improving health especially in low-income countries. This research project traces the emergence and transformations of evidence-for-policy approaches at the WHO; and explores how evidence-informed policy is currently practiced through the WHO’s prime evidence-for-policy mechanism, the Evidence-informed Policy Network (EVIPNet).\r\nThe Uganda EVIPNet country ‘node’, run by the Regional East Africa Community Health (REACH) Policy Initiative, counts among the most active and successful evidence-to-policy initiatives on the continent (Ongolo-Zogo et al. 2014; WHO 2016). Using EVIPNet/REACH Uganda as an empirical case study, this component of my research project examines some the practices, promises and challenges of evidence-based policy in Uganda.\r\n
