The topic of the seminar will be educational research with the San of southern Africa. The invited speaker is Jennifer Hays, who has been conducting research on educational and indigenous rights issues confronting San populations for over 20 years, and has worked in several different capacities – as a researcher, as an activist, coordinating projects, and as a project evaluator. In this presentation, she will provide an overview of the educational situation of the San, and describe her work, with particular focus on an education project that she has been following since 1998, the Nyae Nyae Village Schools. She will discuss methodological and ethical considerations of engaging in research with extremely marginalized groups.
Fruits, coffee and tea will be served.
