research
While my time in Peru has thus far been filled an amazing array of new sights, sounds, culinary wonders, impressions and a multitude of cultural and personal exchanges and interactions, the ‘true' purpose of my visit is the research I am here to do for my Master's in Children's Rights (social sciences) at the University of Amsterdam, Holland.
My research, very basically, consists of fieldwork in the shantytown of Villa el Salvador (near Lima, Peru) and focuses on the socialization and future dreams and aspirations of young girls (5th and 6th grade of primary school) living in conditions of socioeconomic disadvantage.
The research methods include interviews with community members, people who work with youth and children in various capacities, municipal workers, parents and of course children and youth. These interviews are all mainly for background information. The bulk of the research consists of weekly workshops - interactive and participatory in nature - in two local schools, with 5th and 6th grade girls. The workshops have a dual purpose: to help me answer my research questions (about socialization and child agency therein) and to help the girls begin to think about their futures a bit, about their dreams, their aspirations, etc.
These are some photos from the workshops: click here for photos.
