Thanks to 1125@Carleton and its spotlight on undergraduate research conducted by Khadija Ahmed, a fourth-year student who is completing a Combined Honours in Law (with a concentration in Transnational Law and Human Rights) and Women’s and Gender studies.
Khadija is a member of this year’s cohort of the Born Social Fellowship, a program that provides 10 selected Carleton students with the opportunity to participate in a four-month (January to April 2016), hands-on learning experience that applies their skill development directly to civic issues facing our community, provides local and global connections, as well as professional field experiences.
In the article “Khadija Ahmed – Harness the law to achieve social change”, 1125@Carleton asks Khadija about her idea of social change: “I see that lawyers, litigators, all the people involved with law, they fundamentally shape society. That’s the way I would like to approach social change through law.”
Khadija is also one of the students presenting Wednesday, March 23rd at the Undergraduate Showcase (at 4:00 pm in River Building) as part of FPA Research Month.
