Report My research stay in South Africa turned out to be an essential part of my dissertation project on LGBT+ people in South Africa. The expert interviews that I conducted in Cape Town and Johannesburg build a main component of my qualitative data. As I am following an inductive approach, the next step of my research -the data collection in the field- is based on the results of the expert interviews. Next to the generated data, I could build up and strengthen relationship with key players. and I also gained an understanding of the cultural embeddednes of the issue and the postapartheid society in practice.
