MA POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

After attaining a BA in History and Politics from Queen Mary University of London, I am now pursuing an MA, thanks to the wonderful generosity of the Aziz Foundation. I also have ambitions to study for a PhD concerning the issue of Muslim perception in Western society. My research interests primarily consist of understanding the political nature of popular culture, with a focus on examining how rampant Islamophobia permeates the intersection of foreign policy and film. With this I hope to positively transform the discourse on Muslim depiction in Western media.
