HISTAGRA is awarded two Campus Terra research grants

 

Nerea Calvo Beceiro, a student of the Master's Degree in Cultural Services (Faculty of Humanities), graduated in History, was awarded with one of the Campus Terra grants to carry out her internship at HISTAGRA. David Cuesta Fernández, a student of the Master's Degree in Nature Activities Management, graduated in Teacher Training, was also awarded with a second Campus Terra grant. Both students are training under the guidance of HISTAGRA researcher Ana Cabana Iglesia.

 

Nerea Calvo is going to study what it meant for the women of San Sadurniño the opening of a factory in the eighties that hired only female labour and will apply oral history and methodology of the uses of time to see how their dedication to tasks related to production or reproduction in an agricultural house changed when they became workers. David Cuesta will characterise the agriculture and livestock farming in the Pas valley and try to follow the trail of those who came from there to colonise Terra Cha.

 

According to the Campus Terra scholarship programme, they will be registered as researchers in training at Histagra. Both of them must continue studying their respective master's degrees for the remainder of the four-month period, of course, at the same time as they start their research. The period of the scholarship is March-July 2024.
