My sincere thanks go to the Centre's management, faculty, admin staff, and PhDs for the warm welcome and for an enriching experience throughout. Looking forward to carrying these experiences forward and staying connected with the many knowledgable and inspiring people I've met.

A few days ago my research stay at the UofT's Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies (@CrimSL_TO) as a Visiting Junior Fellow came to an end. It was an amazing time at the Centre and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to also share and discuss parts of my work.
