The course will explore the intersectionality of human rights and double discrimination faced by people with multiple identities like disability and SOGI.

The aim of the course is to enhance the participants capacity to do simple fact based research and they will learn how to write about these issues from international researchers. In addition to targeted sessions introducing literature reviews, research design, research methods and writing skills the participants will be encouraged to submit short articles to receive targeted feedback from mentors in the course.

To apply please send your CV directly to our partners at EISA before October 16 2022. Include a short CV with the following information: Name, address, relevant work experience and position/title in your current organisation. Please also include a mention of research interests or topics that you might be interested in exploring in the course.

The course is free. Each workshop will start with a 40-60 minute lecture, followed by Q&A and discussion. Accepted participants are required to attend four workshops (21 October, 28 October, 11 November and 18 November 2022) and to submit a final article, story or paper by December 31.
