Programme and year: MSc Gender, Peace and Security 2023
What are you currently doing and where?
I'm currently a PhD student in Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh.
How do you use what you learned at LSE Gender in your current role?
My time at LSE was a wonderful journey. It was constructive in shaping my research interests and honing my skills. Studying decolonial and intersectional gender theories laid an epistemological foundation for my current research on technology and gender politics. The diverse and inclusive academic environment in the department made me more open-minded, allowing me to develop collaboration and communication skills, with a focus on feminist ethics of care. These experiences have been especially important to my studies at the Social Movements Lab here in Pittsburgh.
What advice do you have for current and/or prospective LSE Gender students?
Enjoy your study and stay critical. The Department of Gender Studies is a place where you can feel the true power of diverse thoughts and actions; it allows you to make impactful change in solidarity with the resisters. And, of course, there are plenty of resources here provided by a variety of people. So make the most of these resources and pave the way to realizing your aspirations.
