RESEARCH ASSISTANT IN SEREDA PROJECT – UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM
DECEMBER 2019-2023
In 2019, I began my work as a data analyst and researcher on the SEREDA project. During my time with the team, I helped contribute to the creation of two working papers and one journal article. The SEREDA Project is a research initiative being conducted by a multi-country research team from the University of Birmingham, University of Melbourne, Uppsala University, and Bilkent University. The project aims to use a social constructivist framework to gain insight into the incidence and nature of SGBV experienced by women, men, and child refugees who have fled conflict in the Levant Region across the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, and Turkey. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/superdiversityinstit ute/sereda/index.aspx

A COMMUNITY-RESEARCHER TRAINER (QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS AND ANALYSIS) ON THE COMMUNITY PRACTITIONER RESEARCH PROGRAMME (CPRP) DELIVERY IN GAZA (ONLINE COURSE)
APRIL 2022-JANUARY 2023
As part of our responsibilities, the team leader and I conducted online training for Palestinian researchers at the Palestine Trauma Centre (PTC). The training was focused on teaching them the fundamental principles and methods of qualitative research. To ensure that language barriers did not hinder their understanding of the training, I prepared all the training material in Arabic. The training was divided into three units, each containing a specific task. For each interview they conducted, participants were required to fill out a self-reflection form. This helped them measure their progress and identify the areas where they needed to improve. Based on their feedback, we conducted additional sessions to cover the skills they needed to learn. Moreover, participants shared their work and self-reflection with the group, which was an excellent opportunity for everyone to learn from each other's mistakes.
