StFX Student Interns Conduct Focus Groups with SEWA
St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) students Emma Jewkes and Sydney Anthony recently travelled to Ahmedabad, India as part of the Sears Internships in Social Enterprise Program – an initiative launched as part of the John T. Sears Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility at StFX’s Schwartz School of Business.
Hosted by longtime Coady partner, the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA), the students worked alongside the organization to conduct participatory research on the impact of climate change for women working in India’s informal economy.
Emma and Sydney presented their research findings in a recent presentation to StFX faculty, staff, students, and local community members.
