Research paper thumbnail of Improving HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis persistence among adolescent girls and young women: Insights from a mixed-methods evaluation of community, hybrid, and facility service delivery models in Namibia

We compared PrEP persistence among AGYW receiving services through community and hybrid models in Namibia to facility-based services. We subsequently identify potential mechanisms to explain how and why community and hybrid models achieved (or not) improved persistence to inform further service delivery innovation. Methods: Data were collected from PrEP service delivery to AGYW over twoyears in Namibia's Khomas Region. We used Kaplan-Meier analysis to estimate survival curves for PrEP persistence beyond three-months after initiation and report the cumulative probability of persistence at one-and three-months. Persistence was defined as any PrEP use within three months after initiation followed by a PrEP refill or previously prescribed supply of at least 30 days at the three-month visit. Interviews were conducted with 28 AGYW and 19 providers and analyzed using a deductive-inductive thematic approach. Results: From October 2017 through September 2019, 372 (18.7%) AGYW received services through a facility model, 302 (15.1%) through a community model, and 1,320 (66.2%) through a hybrid model. PrEP persistence at one-TYPE

In combination with changes to how the genocide was understood in Namibia and in Germany, the occasion of commemorating the genocide – which offered new contexts for remembering – marked a turning point in the way this past was remembered in both countries.

Research paper thumbnail of To heal the wounds: Namibian Ovaherero's contests over coming to terms with the German colonial past

MORGAN: "To Heal the Wounds": Namibian Ovaherero's Contests over Coming to Terms with the German Colonial Past (Under the direction of Margaret Wiener) This dissertation describes why events of 100 years ago, during the German colonial period, remain so salient for many Ovaherero today as well as what it means to them to come to terms with that past. A national contest emerged about whether and how to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1904-1907 Herero genocide, or war, in Namibia. These commemorations and their planning illustrate some of the social and political context in which restorative justice has proceeded. Fissures among Herero and Namibian communities emerge in the commemorations as well as contests over the production of accounts of the past within Namibia. Different versions of the past circulated within different communities and came into conflict in the context of the commemorations and the broader restorative justice project. These divergent histories all had to be reconciled, even if temporarily, for the purposes of bringing multiple parties together to address an agreed upon past through restorative justice. Remembering for the past for Ovaherero, generally and 1904-1907 in particular, incorporates narratives, embodied memory, and daily practice. Because remembering for Ovaherero makes such use of contemporary contexts of suffering as prompts to talk about the past, remembering the past has much to do with how the past is felt in the present. As some Ovaherero pursued restorative justice with Germany, meanings of these attempts were constantly framed and re-framed and restorative justice ideas were As I emerge from this project that has constituted the centre of my life for several years, the task of adequately acknowledging those who helped enable this experience feels immense and virtually impossible. I offer heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported and guided me through this project. I began to see this project as an emerging reality thanks to generous financial support for pre-dissertation research in Namibia with a University of North Carolina's University Center for International Studies Graduate Travel Award and a U.S. Student Fulbright Fellowship, Otjiherero language training in Namibia with a Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship, pre-dissertation research in Germany with a Society for the Anthropology of Europe/Council for European Studies Pre-dissertation Fellowship, and German language training at the Goethe Institute with a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship. I was then able to complete my research with a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Award. Christo Botha of the History Department at the University of Namibia provided a much-appreciated institutional affiliation throughout my time in Namibia. Although research of this nature will likely never reach a sense of conclusion, I feel very fortunate that these organizations made possible a thorough research experience from which I can continue future scholarship. While numerous people aided my life in Namibia over the years, enabling my research, I feel a particular debt to the individuals who helped me settle in places where I
