I am very lucky to be part of the 2023 cohort of the AHRC-BBC New Generation Thinkers programme – if you’d like to know more about the process and my tips on applying, check back soon for a blogpost, and take a look at the 2024 call in the meantime. I have also been interviewed on Voice of Islam DAB radio and on the fabulous The Good Robot podcast. Links to my programmes can be found below.
I have also written pieces of a range of different lay audiences in print media (EMC magazine, Babel magazine) and online (The Conversation). Head to my Writings link to read more.
