Student Consultant (part-time) (re-advertisement)

The digital rights field in its current form shows a clear underrepresentation – if not total absence – of a number of constituencies such as minority groups, those with disabilities, and the LGBTQI+ community. More generally, an intersectional approach to digital rights issues is lacking. This is an alarming situation: the digital rights field cannot properly serve its “watchdog” function of protecting human rights for all in online and networked spaces if its composition causes it to have too many blind spots.

DFF wants to help set in motion a decolonising process to help change this in a way that goes beyond tokenism and can bring about structural change. For the initial scoping phase to initiate this work, we are looking for a part-time Student Consultant to provide support to DFF’s Director.

The position is for 2 days per week plus additional days for  proposal drafting at the end of the project.

The application deadline is 14 February 2020, with a start date in March 2020.
