HUMA Doctoral Seminar Series

Speaker: Amanda Manqoyi-Ouamba (University of Cape Town, South Africa)

As a researcher and an academic, being trusted with the delicate and sensitive stories of my research subjects is a privilege that I do not take lightly. My commitment and service are doing justice in the handling and interpretation of these stories. In this talk, I will be reflecting on my journey and struggles in handling and interpreting research data. From sharing such experiences, I hope we can learn and grow from each other’s experiences.
