Knowledge. Opportunity. Growth - All in One Place.
USAA's Resources
A professional association is only as valuable as the resources it puts in the hands of its members. At USAA, we believe that information should flow freely, that opportunity should be accessible, and that every sociologist and anthropologist in Uganda – regardless of career stage or institution should have what they need to grow, contribute, and lead.
This Resources section is your professional toolkit.
Informed. Engaged. Connected.
News & Articles
The work of sociology and anthropology does not stop at the seminar room door or the field research site; it enters the public conversation, shapes policy debates, and speaks to the everyday realities of Ugandan life. This page is where USAA enters that conversation.
Here you will find association news and updates that keep you informed about what USAA is doing and where it is going. You will find thought leadership articles and opinion pieces written by our members – sociologists and anthropologists who have something important to say about the issues shaping Uganda and the wider world. And you will find coverage of events, research highlights, member achievements, and professional developments that matter to our community.
We believe that social scientists should not only produce knowledge in academic journals; they should contribute to public discourse. If you have an article, commentary, or perspective you would like to submit for publication on this platform, we welcome your voice.
Our Community. Our Story. In Every Frame.
Media Gallery
Some moments in the life of a professional community deserve to be seen — the energy of a packed conference hall, the focused intensity of a workshop in progress, the warmth of colleagues reconnecting at an annual gathering, the quiet power of a researcher presenting findings that matter.
This gallery is our visual archive. It is a record of USAA at work and at its best — capturing the people, the events, and the spirit of Uganda's sociological and anthropological community across the years.
Browse our photographs and videos from General Assembly meetings, capacity building workshops, public seminars, community outreach activities, and the many moments in between that make this association what it is.

Funding Your Future in Social Science.
Scholarships
Talent is evenly distributed across Uganda. Opportunity is not. One of USAA's commitments to its members; and to the broader community of aspiring social scientists – is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent gifted and motivated individuals from pursuing advanced study, research, and professional development in sociology and anthropology.
This page is dedicated to scholarships, grants, fellowships, and funding opportunities relevant to sociologists and anthropologists at all levels – from undergraduate students seeking support to complete their degrees, to postgraduate researchers pursuing Masters and PhD programmes, to established academics seeking research funding and professional development grants.
We curate this listing from national and international sources – government bursaries, university scholarships, foundation grants, research funding bodies, and international academic programmes. Opportunities are updated as they are received and verified by the Secretariat.
Your Skills Are in Demand. Find Where They Belong.
Career Opportunities
A career in sociology or anthropology is a career that matters. The analytical depth, cultural sensitivity, research rigour, and human understanding that social scientists bring to their work is needed across virtually every sector – in Uganda and around the world.
This page exists to connect Uganda's sociologists and anthropologists with the professional opportunities that match their skills and ambitions. Here you will find current job listings, consultancy calls, research opportunities, internships, and fellowships drawn from across the public sector, the NGO world, international development organisations, academia, and the private sector.
Opportunities are updated regularly as they are submitted to or identified by the USAA Secretariat. We encourage members to check this page frequently and to share it with colleagues and networks.
