Gendered Gaps: Landslides in Bududa, Uganda

About this Digital Document

Bududa is a district located in the east of Uganda that frequently suffers from the occurrence of landslides. Based on 22 interviews with community members, I investigated the roles of natural disasters in rural Uganda and the ever-changing social landscape of Bududa. Using the world-systems theory, the theory of ecologically unequal exchange, and ecofeminism, this study examines the changes in gender roles that ensue post-landslides and how this fits the frameworks stated above.
