First off\u2026<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A
Ilrig’s headquarters was covered in powerful imagery like this one!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To prepare for our placement, we needed to develop the necessary research skills that we both had no prior experience of. CAHR<\/a> hosted specialise<\/span>d workshops for those completing placements in York and Cape Town. For instance, developing each team’s code of conduct and recognising our responsibility as students representing the University of York. In addition, we attended a mandatory unit that focused on fieldwork strategies, such as appropriate interview practice and researcher positionality awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, each team was allocated a personal project supervisor within CAHR<\/span>. This was to support and educate <\/span>us on good research practice and address any worries we had throughout the experience. We were worried about our lack of research experience and that we could not hold multiple interviews and meet our partner organisations\u2019 expectations. However, our supervisor was present alongside us during our placement and was constantly available for advice and encouragement. <\/span>For instance, when we faced challenges<\/span> – like having less chatty interviewees<\/span>. Or surprising developments – <\/span>such as when a participant cried when sharing her story. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onto the good part\u2026<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The
the lady herself is never forgotten<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Throughout our placement, we were able to investigate the female activism going on in Cissie Gool House. The occupation of an abandoned hospital stands as a protest against the gentrification of areas of Cape Town. Our interviewees shared their stories of evictions and their motivations to fight the housing crisis and battle the legacy of Apartheid. In partnership with the local organisation International Labour Research and Information Group (ILRIG<\/a>), we<\/span> were able to hold interviews, focus groups and get to know the people of Cissie Gool. Much like the lady<\/a> the occupation was named for, the people were passionate about the cause and excited to share their experiences with us<\/span>. For example, they invited us to their resident meetings and e<\/span>ven organised a goodbye picnic for us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
still cannot believe we climbed this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t all work<\/span>; we were able to explore Cape Town on our days off as well! We went on a safari and saw the big 5<\/a>! We went swimming in the ocean and hiked the Lion\u2019s Head<\/a> alongside Table Mountain (we were lazy and took the cable car). Best of all, we got to visit the adorable African penguins of Simon\u2019s Town. We e<\/span>njoyed the diverse cuisines the city had to offer, surrounded by live music and traditional performances! Don\u2019t worry about not having time to appreciate Cape Town!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming back\u2026<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whilst we were sad to leave the South African sunshine, it was good t<\/span>o be back in York to work on our placement report. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Newspaper
cissie gool houses’ fight for their cause is making waves in the media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After getting some direction from ILRIG and our post-placement workshops, we spent time developing the key themes from our interviews. We were able to use the knowledge we gained from o<\/span>ur classes and the placement itself to address the important challenges female activists face and the priorities of the residents. We really felt we were able to put our theory into practice! It was a <\/span>daunting activity but <\/span>we worked together as a team to support each other and do the best we could do for the cause. For this reason, we stayed in contact with Cissie Gool House and ILRIG, to give them updates on our progress and hear about the developments of their goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all\u2026<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite our initial hesitations, this experience was worthwhile and inspired us to even consider research as a career opportunity. We believe we developed valuable transferable skills that we know we will use again<\/span>. Things like: being at ease directing research participants, and holding our own in handling the project design. On top of everything, we had an incredible time in South Africa and got to experience the sites, people and culture!
<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We definitely recommend taking advantage of the placement opportunity CAHR provides!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

[This article was written collectively by both Olivia and Vanessa]<\/p>\n

Hello! I\u2019m Olivia and I study Peace and Conflict within the University of York. I am excited to talk about the placement opportunities that York has to offer which enticed me to come here! In our blog, my placement partner and I will be discussing our time in Cape Town. We will provide insight into the important research skills we were able to develop in the process. In addition to the exciting things we were able to do in South Africa in our down time! Whilst the placement is run by CAHR, my course was given the opportunity despite being within the politics department. So I was also given the chance to meet new people from other departments! University is about grasping the unique opportunities available to you and I hope many of you will be excited to take part in the placements in either York or South Africa!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Vanessa and I study Applied Human Rights at the University of York. I want to share with you the reasons why doing a course in the Centre of Applied Human Rights (CAHR) is such an enriching experience. In my co-written blog, I\u2019ll mention some of the opportunities the centre offers focusing on the placement programme I did in South Africa. I\u2019ll also include wider human rights related activities the University proposes to its students. One of the most remarkable things is that York became the UK\u2019s first \u2018human rights city\u2019 in 2017. Hence various events are in partnership with the city network. Studying at CAHR means gaining invaluable insights and skills that will empower you to make a significant impact on human rights issues and advocate for positive change in the world. It all starts with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[900,1051,665,8],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14583","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-centre-for-applied-human-rights","7":"category-pg","8":"category-pgt","9":"category-study","10":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPlacement opportunity in Cape Town -
