“This programme has helped me think critically and objectively, skills that are essential for my career. Being open-minded helps me see real issues and find practical solutions. I hope to use these skills in my research to explore inequalities and suggest changes that make a real difference.
The most eye-opening part for me has been seeing how global events affect countries differently. After 9/11, the ‘war on terror’ was used by China to oppress the Uyghurs, while democratic countries like the UK also act unjustly, such as detaining immigrants, but receive less scrutiny. It showed me that injustice exists in many forms, no matter the political system.”
