Initially I had an outsider/expert view where the researcher 'assumes' the community issues and come up with solutions to work with community members” (Patrick Kapito)\n\n\n\n\n\n “It has been eye-opening as to how I need to proceed with engaging with the community as I am still in the research methodology phase” (Masturah Adams)\n\n\n\n\n\n “This course helped me understand that research has greater social impact when done with communities through collaboration\, trust\, and shared benefit. It also encouraged me to reflect on my own identity and biases\, and how they shape the way I engage with communities in research.” (Emily Mashonganyika). \n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\nDr Nailah Conrad\n\nShe currently teaches a design thinking module at the School of International Training Graduate Institute in the USA\, as part of the Cape Town leg of the Master's in Sustainable Development Practice.
