  • Beyond the IRB: Expert advice on the realities, risks, and benefits in performing Human Rights and Social Justice Research

    Saturday, March 31, 2012 3:50 PM | Andrea Akers (Administrator)
    Graduate students preparing for research on
    human rights and social justice issues can
    benefit from the expertise of senior
    anthropologists on the realities, risks, and
    benefits of performing such work. This workshop
    brings together accomplished
    advocates who work in the U.S., abroad,
    within major institutions, or at the grassroots
    level. They will describe their experiences,
    the positive outcomes and obstacles to meeting
    their objectives, and the key elements in
    their HR & SJ toolbox. Students may describe
    their research proposal/dissertation prospectus
    and ask the panel for advice (e.g., on
    balancing theory and praxis, establishing networks,
    and negotiating with gatekeepers).

    Unpaid internships are an often way to break out of the catch 22

    situation of not being able get a job without experience. 

    Unfortunately this can be harder than it sounds as development 

    internships can be extremely competitive.

    At Devex, we want to help you turn your passion into your 

    profession so we have canvassed some of the world’s leading 

    development recruiters and successful interns, on your behalf, 

    for their top tips to help you get your foot in the door and your 

    CV at the top of the pile.

    Here are our top five internship advice articles:

    You’ll need to provide your name and email to access some of 

    these articles, but that’s no biggie because my second tip for 

    you is to create an email alert for the specific organization/

    industry you are interested in working in. This alert delivers the 

    latest news of your interest straight to your inbox allowing you to

     keep up-to-date and competitive.  You can also do this for 

    career advice articles, events and business news. After you 

    create your account, just go to the Alerts section at the top-right

     corner and explore!

    Lastly, make sure you can be found by development recruiters 

    searching our database for candidates by uploading your CV (don’t

     worry access is strictly recruiters only and your CV can’t be 

    ‘googled’).

    I hope you found these tips useful, if you’d like to get more tips 

    like this that can help you land your dream job then 

    register on Devex.

    Good luck with the job hunt!

     

    Best,
