Dr Erika Jiménez is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the School of Law and Mitchell Institute Fellow: Rights and Social Justice at Queen's University Belfast. Her project explores the human rights situation for Golani Druze youth in the occupied Golan Heights. Her first monograph, Rethinking Human Rights: Critical Insights from Palestinian Youth (Hart/Bloomsbury 2024) explores Palestinian youth’s views and experiences of human rights and how these are shaped by what they learn through human rights education at school and their everyday lived experiences. Previously, Erika was a Research Fellow on a Nuffield-funded project, which explored the experiences of education among minority ethnic and migrant families in Northern Ireland. Overall, Erika strives to conduct research that centres marginalised voices and ways of knowing. She has experience of conducting rights-based approaches, participatory research and working alongside advisory groups of minoritised populations.
