Higher Powers

Alcohol and After in Uganda’s Capital City

By: China Scherz,George Mpanga,Sarah Namirembe

Higher Powers draws on four years of collaborative fieldwork carried out with Ugandans working to reconstruct their lives after attempting to leave behind problematic alcohol use. Given the relatively recent introduction of biomedical ideas of alcoholism and addiction in Uganda, most of these people have used other therapeutic resources, including herbal aversion therapies, engagements with balubaale spirits, and forms of deliverance and spiritual warfare practiced in Pentecostal churches. While these methods are at times severe, they contain within them understandings of the self and practices of sociality that point away from models of addiction as a chronic relapsing brain disease and towards the possibility of release. Higher Powers offers a reconceptualization of addiction and recovery that may prove relevant well beyond Uganda.

Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis

Insights from Ugandan Primary Education

By: Sarah Kabay

Around the world, 250 million children cannot read, write, or perform basic mathematics. They represent almost 40% of all primary school-aged children. This situation has come to be called the "global learning crisis" and it is one of the most critical challenges facing the world today. Work to address this situation depends on how it is understood. Typically, the global learning crisis and efforts to improve primary education are defined in relation to two terms: access and quality. This book is focused on the connection between them. Through a mixed-methods case study, it provides detailed, contextualized analysis of Ugandan primary education. As one of the first countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to enact dramatic and far-reaching primary education policy, Uganda serves as a compelling case study. With both quantitative and qualitative data from over 400 Ugandan schools and communities, the book analyzes grade repetition, private primary schools, and school fees, viewing each issue as an illustration of the connection between access to education and education quality. This analysis finds evidence of a positive association, challenging a key assumption that there is a trade-off or disconnect between efforts to improve access to education and efforts to improve education quality. Embracing the complexity of education systems, and focusing on dynamics where improvements in access and quality can be mutually reinforcing, can be a new approach for improving basic education in different contexts around the world.

BOOK SUMMARY The book titled “Career Growth for Uganda’s Women and Girls in Sciences; the Challenges, Opportunities and Experiences” is authored by a team of women in Sciences from Uganda. It contains information on the challenges, opportunities and experiences on career growth for women in Sciences, with Uganda in perspective. The information, in the authors’ view, will be a useful guideline for women and girls pursuing career success in the fields of sciences, engineering, mathematics and related others. In chapter one a review and summary of the subject is given. Chapter two reports on a panel discussion, while chapter three presents personal experiences of women and girls in sciences at different stages of their professional career growth. Chapter four, contains experiences and advice from experts who have been involved in training, financial support of academic and professional development of women and girls in sciences. We believe, not only the women and girls in STEM will benefit from this publication, but also, community in academia, research, policy and development arenas
