Accomplishments
I worked towards the development of a youth led LGBTQ+ research project called ‘Hidden Histories'. Our goal was to understand the fight for LGBTQ+ rights within history and whether this has had a productive impact on the LGBTQ+ youth of today.
I feel this research project provided me with many opportunities to develop my research skills as I delve into library and museum archives, attended seminars and workshops to gain a greater understanding of the history of LGBTQ+ rights. I learned the importance of qualitative research and capturing history through the perspectives of others by conducting many in-person interviews. This project also pushed me to develop my confidence in presenting my learning as we planned and conducted a showcase to present our research.
