| Projects | |
| Participatory Mapping and the Social Ecology of HIV -- (In Development) | |
| I am working with Dr. Eve Puffer and WISER to develop a participatory mapping project in Muhuru Bay, a small fishing village on the shore of Lake Victoria in Kenya. As part of WISER's efforts to build a girls' boarding school and a research center in Muhuru Bay, Dr. Puffer is developing a multi-level HIV prevention intervention for adolescents. We are hoping to add a participatory mapping component to better understand how the social and physical environment enhance or restrict youths' abilities to avoid HIV. This work could ultimately inform the development of a setting-level HIV prevention intervention. |

| Women's Income Generating Support Program (WINGS) -- (2009-2011) | |
| WINGS is a micro-enterprise development program supporting young women in northern Uganda following two decades of war. Dr. Chris Blattman, Dr. Jeannie Annan, and I are working with AVSI to conduct a 3-year impact evaluation of the program. This project will evaluate the overall impact of the program on economic activity, social capital, and empowerment in addition to the relative impact of individual program components. | View Larger Map |
| Communities in Transition -- (2007) | |
|
I completed eight months of fieldwork in Northern Uganda where I studied mass internal
displacement and community transitions. I used multiple methods (household surveys, geographic
information systems, in-depth interviews, Photovoice project) to investigate various aspects of
population movement and well-being. This project was innovative in its use of PDAs for data
collection, spatial data (GIS, GPS, satellite images) for sampling and data analysis, and
participatory documentary photography for data collection and social change efforts.
