Assessing Road Impacts on Wildlife Communities and African Golden Cat Ecology in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda) Using Camera Trapping
REFNo: NS1140ES
This research will be conducted jointly by two MSc students under a shared research framework focusing on the effects of anthropogenic activities and environmental covariates on wildlife habitat use within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Both MSc students are working under unified institutional collaborations and supervisors, and share the image processing, field surveys and research timeline. The study will employ camera trapping and associated field methods to collect data relevant to both projects. While the data collection will be collaborative, each student will pursue an independent research question and produce a separate MSc thesis: one examining habitat use and drivers of density of Caracal aurata, and the other assessing the influence of Ruhija road on wildlife. This collaborative approach maximizes research efficiency, reduces duplication of field effort, and enhances the value of the dataset for conservation management while maintaining distinct academic outputs.
Primary Objective:
To evaluate how road infrastructure and human disturbance influence terrestrial vertebrate communities and the species specific ecology of the African golden cat in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Additionally, some of the first density estimates of the African golden cat will be produced for this area in collaboration with an existing camera trapping grid by Embaka.
Specific Objectives:
1. Quantify species richness, composition, and diel activity differences between roadside and interior forest habitats.
2. Identify ecological and anthropogenic factors predicting wildlife sensitivity to roads.
3. Quantify the impacts of habitat variables on habitat use of the African golden cat
using occupancy models.
4. Estimate the density of Caracal aurata in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park using
SECR.

Decolonisation and Black/South Asian mixed-race identity in East Africa, 1940-1980
REFNo: SS4709ES
This is a historical project investigating race relations between South Asians and Africans in late colonial and early postcolonial Kampala through the lens of “mixed-racedness”. It contributes to part of my larger PhD Thesis that examines questions of race, identity, belonging, and nationalism across Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda in the period 1940-1980. My project explores how British missionaries and colonial agents introduced the concept of “mixed-racedness” to East Africa, asking questions about how Ugandans have identified with, rejected, and appropriated labels like “half-caste”, “chotara/kyotara” or “nusu”. I wish to conduct oral history interviews with a minimum of 10 people in Uganda who are of and older generation and of mixed African/South Asian heritage to discuss the ways in which late colonial and early postcolonial politics impacted their everyday lives. I also plan to consult a range of library and archival materials in Kampala to learn more about the history of Ugandan attitudes towards interracial relationships, the rise of mixed-raced movements such as the “Multiracial Community of Uganda”, and public debates over mixed-race people’s citizenship status after Independence.
Objectives:
1. To shed light on the “hidden histories” of interracial romances and people of mixed Black/South Asian heritage in Uganda, whose experiences are largely absent from the existing historiography.
2. To gain understanding of how colonial and early postcolonial debates influenced the lives and habits of interracial couples and mixed-race people in Kampala, including how attitudes and identities have shifted over time.
3. To produce a Ugandan-based case study that will form an integral part of my PhD Thesis, which seeks to draw comparative analysis of mixed-race identities and their formulation across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in the period 1940 to 1980.
4. To preserve mixed-race histories as part of a digital “StoryMaps” archive created with the Blindian Project, which will be accessible online.

Pregnancy to Protection: Enhancing Vaccine Confidence for Lifelong Family Health
REFNo: HS6734ES
1. Identify factors that influence vaccine confidence among pregnant women and mothers to enhance immunization uptake at the family level, creating a positive ripple effect across the lifespan.
2. Identify opportunities for and barriers to expanding maternal vaccination coverage through evidence-based community focused approaches.
For objective two we will utilize qualitative methods to understand key stakeholder level perspectives on overcoming barriers related to the 3c’s and the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness (implementation outcomes, operationalized as defined by proctor et al. (60)) of mass education and vaccination campaigns that reach pregnant women outside of ANC facilities to expand vaccine access and catalyze uptake within the family unit. We will also explore how other routine immunization delivery across the lifespan can be similarly optimized.
Key informant participants will be identified through existing relationships with the MOH (in the case of policy level stakeholders) and community leaders (in the case of traditional birth attendants and village health team members).
