MA HISTORY, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

As a 2020 History graduate, I have spent my year working in educational policy at Salford Student’s Union, implementing a student framework which introduces 'Decolonising the Curriculum'.

My MA History at SOAS will give me greater insight into how communities have become collaborative and inclusive of marginalised identities. My dissertation hopes to focus on the role of Sufism in curating long lasting Islamic identities in South India. I hope to build upon this work to understand what collaborative and inclusive policy looks like, whilst adding to my portfolio of policy experience within the education sector.

Outside of academics, I write for my personal blog, curate family histories and build upon decolonising campaigns.
