Great points from a couple of researchers - they told me : Deadlines are “random suggestions” in this journey. Practise exercises to stay grounded - it’s helpful to navigate stress and anxiety. - Hopefully helpful to some of you too.

I began a journey in PhD studies this year. It’s September now. Slowing down has been my biggest challenge. And my joy has been knowing that I get to question everything. Anyone else care to share what they learned 9 months into research? Will be helpful for all of us.. thank you in advance.

Ending Islamophobia is one of the biggest fights we have in front of us worldwide. Anti-Muslim sentiment is pervasive across continents, people, races, and even within communities that view themselves as "progressive."
