David K. Kaawa-Mafigiri, PhD, MPH
Department of Social Work and Social Administration
School of Social Sciences, Makerere University

Betsey Brada, PhD
Anthropology Department, Reed College

Last year's publication of Child Abuse and Neglect in Uganda, edited by David K. Kaawa-Mafigiri and Eddy Walakira, marks the first time that a volume of research about child maltreatment in an African country has been produced by scholars from within that country.

Taking this volume as a starting point, David Kaawa-Mafigiri and Betsey Brada will discuss the importance of taking cultural contexts into account when studying child maltreatment, as well as the unique complexities of conducting inquiry, advocacy, and intervention related to this issue. They will then address the well-being of children in Uganda more generally, discussing the predicaments of Ugandan children in a comparative perspective.

Dr. Kaawa-Mafigiri has conducted extensive research on medical issues in Uganda, including tuberculosis, alcohol use, and HIV; he is also deeply involved in efforts to increase local capacity in medical care, medical training, and in social science research. Dr. Brada conducts research on HIV treatment and medical training in Botswana. Starting from the issue of child maltreatment, our conversation can range across these topics when we come together to consider human well-being in local contexts.
