Combined Bachelor of Arts Honours (Law and Legal Studies and Gender Studies)
Khadija Ahmed always knew she wanted to study law as a vehicle for social justice.
“I believe in social change and want to be a part of it, but I wanted a tangible way to accomplish it,” she says.
So she enrolled in the Law and Legal Studies program, which provided a solid foundation in Canadian and international law. This enabled her to “connect the dots between various social issues through the law” as well as identify the overarching social issues and narratives within a domestic and international legal context.
Khadija also had the chance to view the Canadian system from an international perspective as an intern in Washington D.C. and an exchange student in Istanbul, Turkey. Since Khadija’s exchange in Turkey, she was inspired to consider a career in international law.
“I think a lot about human rights and the obligations we have to one another. My goal is to be a social engineer within law.”
