In Their Words

It is a privilege to be chosen for the Emerging Scholar Award. It provided me with a platform to present theoretical concepts and contemporary issues before academic and well informed audiences whilst receiving constructive feedback."

Angie Hesham Abdo, 2022 Awardee

One of the most important skills I acquired as a Graduate Scholar was networking with fellow participants at the conference. My position gave me the opportunity to talk with many delegates, with whom I might not have communicated if I had not chaired their panels."

I had a wonderful time at my first Global Studies Conference! It was so enriching to hear the keynote speakers and I was fortunate to attend so many thought-provoking panels. Most of all, it was wonderful to exchange ideas in a convivial, friendly and welcoming space."
