The Forum for Africa Uppsala is involved in the programme Population Dynamics and Socioeconomic Wellbeing, as part of the Sweden-Mozambique Collaboration that aims to strengthen scientific research and research training capacity at Eduardo Mondlane University to generate knowledge for population and development policy for social wellbeing in Mozambique.
Project Description
The programme is part of the Sweden-Mozambique bilateral research and research training Collaboration funded by Sida.
Two sandwich PhDs will be trained at Uppsala University: one PhD-student in Cultural Anthropology (Márcia Manhique), and the other in Global Health at International Maternal and Child Care (Gilda Gondola Sitefane).
Márcia Manhique started her PhD-training on 1 April 2020. Her PhD project focuses on the pregnant body between reproductive technologies, vulnerabilities, and subjectivities.
The programme is coordinated by the Dept. of Public Health and Clinical Medicine at Umeå University. The Forum for Africa Studies involvement also concerns curriculum development at PhD and master levels.
