Kyla Sankey, a student from the LLM programme International Development Law and Human Rights, has been awarded the 2011/12 Santander Scholarship. The scholarship aimed to fund students based on a demonstration that their study relates to the understanding of development within Latin America and that their research and knowledge will be disseminated to the wider Warwick community.

Kyla arrived at Warwick after working in human rights organisations in Colombia for 4 years. Through the Centre for Human Rights in Practice, she helped to organise a talk from a Colombian human rights lawyer for students at the university. She has also written articles on development and human rights in Colombia both for the Centre for Human Rights in Practice publication and the news website OpenDemocracy.
