这是一个合作研究项目，将与印度的Praxis合作进行，其支持信随附提名表格。研究涉及民族志和参与性研究方法的结合，以探索服装工人在其工作环境中的健康和福祉体验，包括工厂和家庭工作。人种学研究将为参与性行动研究提供信息，实践计划在印度北部的阿赫梅达巴德进行。它将考虑并利用我作为东非古吉拉特人的身份以及这在语言和遗产方面提供的特殊机会。通过合作和Praxis的指导，我将能够与大约20名服装工人及其家人一起开发更多的参与式研究方法。

This is a collaborative research project to be conducted in partnership withPraxis, India whose letter of support accompanies the nomination form.
