I had a great experience so far with the Women and Gender Summer Fellowship. Although I had previous research experience, I feel that I learnt a lot in such short period of time. I am very grateful the opportunity I have been given this summer to grow as a student researcher. I definitely enjoyed the…

Song
My favorite singer is Maher Zain, he is a Swedish/ Lebanese singer. Maher has been such an inspiration and role model for me for a long time now. Here is one my favorite Maher songs, it’s called in shaa Allah which means “God willing”. There are four versions of the song one of each of…
Testimonial, Blog 9B
I think WAGSFP gave me an experience that everyone should participate in. I am the odd one out as an engineer but I never felt excluded regardless. The research I take part in is amazing and world changing. Even more amazing is all the participants of WAGSFP, who are so passionate about their research. These…
A Testimonial, Blog 9B
I found WAGSFP to be an engaging program and the experiences that I had as a fellow to be unparalleled. I think the intensive time dedicated to research was very valuable to my academic progression and understanding of how to integrate gender issues in all avenues of research. This program’s small size and attention to…
Waterloo
In my opinion, my summer experience is best summed up by a classic Abba song called Waterloo. I chose this song due to my love of the film Mamma Mia and its soundtrack. Usually, I have a distaste for musicals, but like most things I seem to blog about, it’s an aberration to the rules…

This fellowship has been such a blessing. I’ve been afforded new opportunities as a result of it, and just being a part of this cohort has been such a joy. I’m grateful for all the people who have been unconditionally in our corners throughout these 10 weeks, rooting for us at every pass. The best part…
Blog Post 9A: Song
[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl742pn7bnw”] Lyrics I know that it seems sometimes, that no matter what you do No matter how hard you work, striving to make things better in your life For some reason, you’re not getting nowhere But I want you to turn to the one next to you And tell him You tried your…
The Testimonial (To My Song)
This experience with UROP through the Women and Gender Fellowship has been great. It’s supplied me with the know-how of conducting humanities-based research, which I have been doing in a half-realized way in my humanities classes all these years. Coming in as a freshman to Michigan, not even remotely did I consider UROP as a…
The Song (To My Testimonial)
A song that would describe my summer experience well is Abraham by Sufjan Stevens. Not because I played the song out every morning when I woke up or every evening when I went to bed during these past two months, but because I chose the song in one of my previous blogs at the start…
New Amira, Same Ol’ Mistakes
One song to describe my summer? Even though a simple request, how could one song really capture my entire summer? Shuffling through my iTunes library though, I came across an old favorite: “Same Ol’ Mistakes” by Rihanna. Rihanna’s version is actually a cover of Tame Impala’s “New Person, Same Ol’ Mistakes,” and I feel like…
