Sociology Exposed

Hi! After much work and deliberation and with the help of many people I have established this podcast space for friends and colleagues to use for all things Sociological.

I’m currently an MPhil Sociology student on the Marginality and Exclusion track. I am looking at the myth of a postracial London, and how dating and intimacy uphold a racialised social structure in this ‘superdiverse’ city. I’m being supervised by Ali Meghji who is so smart that he hurts my brain sometimes. 

In my spare time I read (something lighter than the daily!), go to the gym, cook, volunteer for a food bank and a Palestine solidarity campaign, tutor, spend time in nature and with my siblings, and ignore texts. 

Hi! I’m Zeena, an MPhil student on the Marginality and Exclusion track looking at the experience of migrant women, being supervised by Dr Monica Moreno Figueroa who actually inspired me to apply for this Masters.

I did my undergrad in Anthropology at the LSE and aim to incorporate anthropological concepts into my sociological research.

Listen out for me on the ‘Black student experience’ episode, and I’ll be bringing more content soon!

I’m currently an MPhil Sociology student studying in the Political and Economic stream. My research is focused on the use of memory as a tool of feminist resistance in the context of military occupation and war. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto in Women and Gender Studies and Equity Studies.

Studying social justice gave me the theoretical tools to understand the various structures which are responsible for all sources of oppressions around the world and then use them in praxis through activism and community organising.

Studying sociology in my masters helps me continue that journey particular by understanding how the use of research can be a tool towards anti-oppression work, and often resistance amongst many global social movements around the world.
