I dedicate a significant portion of this reflection to express my profound gratitude to the Laidlaw program, both within Trinity College and beyond. This experience has been truly transformative. The funding, networking opportunities, and inspiration provided have fostered positive growth and character development. This journey has strengthened my commitment to creating positive change and has connected me with a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to shaping a better world. I also owe immense gratitude to my supervisor, whose unwavering support and mentorship guided me through uncertainties. Rather than feeling like a mere accessory to her work, she empowered me to authentically lead my investigation. Her resources, ethical guidelines, and continuous support were instrumental in shaping my journey.
Research reflection
Hi! My name is Jimena Alvarez and I am a Peruvian second year student in Trinity College Dublin. I currently concluded my second year studying Political Science and Economics.
My research project is titled "Exploratory research into the support worker’s perceptions of the integration experiences of Ukrainian refugees in Ireland".
The purpose of the research is to gather relevant and comprehensive data about support worker’s perceptions of the integration experiences of Ukrainian refugees in Ireland. I will be conducting a focus group and individual interviews with 12 support workers in the field of refugee aid.
I am very excited to connect with other Laidlaw scholars regardless of how different our research projects may be. I am always interested in learning from people with different backgrounds and interests. Feel free to contact me. See you all soon in the Laidlaw annual conference here in Trinity College Dublin!
