1‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍. Define your research questions clearly and succinctly, and explain why they are important. What are the social identities that intersect with LGBTQ people in Venezuela? What are the implications of these identities in the experiences of LGBTQ people in Venezuela? Knowing these identities and the implications on LGBTQ experiences helps deviate from studying identities (class, race, religion, etc.) separately and provides a common understanding to address LGBTQ issues in Latin America. Indicate what has already been published on the subject and how your research will extend or challenge that work, or how it will fill a gap in scholarship. According to my search, there is very little academic literature on LGBTQ in Venezuela. Especially in terms of intersectionality and LGBTQ. 2. Outline the intervention(s) you intend to make within broader debates and the original contribution(s) you expect to make to existing knowledge and/or conceptual frameworks. Mainly begin to build the puzzle of what it means to be LGBTQ in Venezuela. I especially w‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ant to separate the experience of LGBTQ people from the experience in western countries. This means that knowledge must be generated that adjusts to the Venezuelan and Latin American context. 3. Explain the methods you will use in your research and justify them as appropriate. Surveys Literature Review 4. Give details of any fieldwork you intend to carry out. Online surveys. 5. Outline the skills and experience you bring to the project, and how your previous studies have prepared you to carry it through to successful completion. In my dissertation I assembled substantiated connections with Venezuelan colonial history and LGBTQ rights in current context. I have explored in modules such as Equiality Diversity and Inclusion the concepts of intersectionality. Ability to critically examine and evaluate literature. Outstanding time management and prioritization to meet research projects deadlines. Capacity to translate content from Spanish to English accurately. Able to work collaboratively with people from different disciplines and cultures‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍.
