THE ARKLETON TRUST
David Moore Memorial Fund
2004 Awards
The Trustees decided not to make an award in 2004 in order to preserve funds.
2003 Awards
One award was made in 2003 to Preeti Mann, a student at St Cross College,
Oxford and a Rhodes Scholar. She was studying Social Anthropology.
Preeti's research aimed to study identity changes amongst the Gond tribals
who have been displaced due to the Rihand Thermal Power Plant which belongs
to the National Thermal Power corporation.
2002 Awards
One award was made in 2002 to Thomas Yarrow, a student at Corpus Christi
College, Cambridge studying Social Anthropology.
Thomas' project traced the manner in which information is relayed, extended,
reduced, translated and modified as it flows through an international
organisation and across rural policies and their implementation.
2001 Awards
Three awards were made during 2001, to two students from the University of Edinburgh and to one student from Cambridge University. The research projects being undertaken by the winners are:
- To map the distribution of sleeping sickness cases in Soroti, to identify the most probable point source of the outbreak and to quantify the prevalence of infection in the cattle population, using cattle markets as a means of having access to cattle from many parts of the district.
Final Output: PhD dissertation - To explore development agencies from the outside-in: the fieldwork will take place in Nepal and aims to find out how a rural community in Far Western Nepal views social change in their community.
Final Output: 10,000 dissertation (counting for third of degree) - To analyse critical evaluations of neo-colonialism and the export of Euro-centric values associated with development projects, which are conditioned by economic and political criteria: the research will look at the social relationships and political processes underpinning EU development strategies and projects in Cuba.
Final Output: PhD Thesis
