MA MUSLIM MINORITIES IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

Following postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford, I have worked in the Environmental, Charity, Development and Media sectors as well as a freelance journalist for The Independent and HuffPost. I was commissioned by Penguin to write a non-fiction children’s book in 2018 and my first picture book is due for release in 2020. My involvement in a combination of policy level and grassroots work has revealed to me the immense complexity of the British Muslim presence, and cemented my desire to deepen my historical, political and economic understanding of Muslim communities. Through this MA, alongside learning Arabic and continued religious study, I hope to utilise my skillset to contribute to society in the most effective way possible.
