News from SPARC

We are pleased to have been successful in the recent PhD scholarships scheme competition. Prof Liz Walker, supported by the team, pitched for three scholarships which will focus on the experience of living with multiple health conditions. The research cluster will prioritise the collection of voices of people living with multimorboidity and their families and carers, through drawing on the collaborative and collective practice, diverse expertise and research experience of the team in gathering and understanding people’s stories and narratives around illness, long-term conditions and, crucially, their intersection.

We will be recruiting from what we hope will be a wide field of possible candidates in the next few weeks, so please keep an eye out for communications from SPARC and the Graduate School and distribute to your networks as you feel appropriate.

Global Challenges Research Fund Project – ‘Trauma and Community Based Social Work in East Africa’

Dr Karin Cooper writes: 

This three-phased international project, which commenced in Dar es Salam, has been selected as representing an ‘excellent case study’ for the QR – GCRF. The project involved networking in Tanzania between Bienvenu Munyerere (NGO - Burundi), Mubakilay Yannick (NGO - Democratic Republic of the Congo), Dr Karin Cooper (University of Hull) and Madam Leah Omari an academic colleague from the Tanzanian ‘Institute of Social Work’ who joined us on the first networking day.

As part of this project our Congolese and Burundian partners engaged in extensive networking within East Africa. This involved consultation with various NGOs from a range of backgrounds including social work, health, education and the legal profession. UK partners Dr Amanda Lee (pictured), Amina Adan and Dr Karin Cooper, in partnership with Bienvenu Munyerere and Mubakilay Yannick, finalised key areas of mutual interest for future research funding centred upon rights, risk and protection in an East African context.

Forum Theatre Project – International Dissemination

Dr Karin Cooper carried out a workshop with NGOs from Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the use of participatory theatre techniques.  This event was the result of a Ferens Education Trust funded project which took place at the University of Hull.

The workshop included the use of a photographic journey, discussion, and demonstration of participatory theatre techniques through use of a digital resource. This was made possible thanks to students from the MA and BA Social Work and BSc Mental Health Nursing programmes at the University of Hull who participated in the development of this digital recording!

During the Tanzanian visit Dr Karin Cooper visited academic colleagues at the Institute of Social Work and shared her experience of using Forum Theatre as a tool for working with students on professional training programmes.
