Our Director Lucy Jaffé spoke to our policy intern Renan Araújo about his time at Why me?, what he learned, and what he will be doing next.
Renan was a pleasure to work with in unusual circumstances, and we wish him all of the best in his future.
You can watch their 3 minute conversation below (apologies for the video quality in the first 20 seconds)!
Key Points
- Renan was a Policy & Research intern while studying for a Masters in Criminal Justice Policy at LSE.
- He is a lawyer in Brazil, and has always been interested in Restorative Justice in his home country.
- Renan’s work with us has focused primarily on writing a paper on restorative policing, and supporting Why me? with our submission to the Victims’ Code of Practice consultation.
- He has had to work remotely for Brazil for the majority of his internship, and was impressed by how smoothly we were able to adapt during this period.
- From August 2020 Renan will be working as a Research Assistant on a project called the “Legal Priorities project” – focusing on the impact of law on the long term future of humanity. He is also looking forward to finishing his Masters in the coming months.
- We have loved working with Renan, and look forward to staying in touch with him.
