Yusra Price

Yusra is an independent anthropologist, educator, researcher and facilitator who cannot settle on a single occupation but dabbles in many interrelated work practices. She holds a Masters in Anthropology from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and specializes in Education and Storytelling. At tertiary education level, her current focus is on pedagogy of methodologies within anthropology and the broader social sciences. She is interested in how researchers are cultivated and in the kinds of innovations educators have developed to foster research sensibilities that are contextually and ethically driven. She is a member and lead ethnographer for the iBali network, supported by The Open University, which will use a storytelling for transformation approach to understand inclusion and exclusion in education across South Africa, Nigeria and the United Kingdom. Her storywork is located in community engagement and advocacy where a participatory and people-centred approach tries to assist others in achieving social justice.
