Excerpt from "Interviews with Alumni from the 1990s and 200s by Tim Smith", 2011 Department Newsletter.
We reached Ayela Khan in Toronto, where she works as the global website Content Editor for The Aga Khan 카지노게임사이트. She is responsible for writing and editing all content for the AKU카지노 게임 컬렉션s websites, which receive at least 1.2 million hits per month. More generally, she is involved in the promotion of the university with a mandate to expand its global presence.
Born in Pakistan, Ayela spent a few years in Canada as a child. She decided to come back to study at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, graduating with a Major in History in 2003. Ayela returned to Pakistan in 2003 and worked as a journalist with Newsline, a major national newsmagazine, for 3 years. Her articles focused mostly on modernization and the Pakistani identity. One can get a glimpse of this young writer카지노 게임 컬렉션s unusual talents here: http:// In particular, we draw your attention to Ayela카지노 게임 컬렉션s article on the 카지노 게임 컬렉션Death of the Marlboro Man카지노 게임 컬렉션 and her review of the book Prejudice and Pride.
After working as a journalist, it was off to Georgetown 카지노게임사이트 in Washington, D.C., for an M.A. (2007-2009) in Peace and Conflict Studies. Upon graduation, Ayela worked for a Toronto NGO 카지노 게임 컬렉션Gems of Hope,카지노 게임 컬렉션 where she researched corporate practices of donor organizations to ensure the use of fair labor standards. She built a database for GEMS and worked to target a university audience and to attract a wider pool of funding. Finally in September 2010, Ayela took up her current position at the AKU.
카지노 게임 컬렉션History,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Ayela says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션allowed me a lot of flexibility. I was free to pursue so many potential types of graduate study. Working as a journalist, I benefitted from my History degree. I was taught to write and to think in an analytical fashion. I was taught to be objective and subjective. The study of History made me take everything into account before arriving at my own opinion. Things are not always black and white.카지노 게임 컬렉션 We asked Ayela why she chose to study Peace and Conflict studies at Georgetown카지노 게임 컬렉션s renowned graduate school: 카지노 게임 컬렉션it was a logical outgrowth of my undergraduate studies. I wanted to study the world, from a slightly different disciplinary angle. I wanted to see all the shades of gray. History taught me to doubt, to be cynical, to weigh everything carefully. In a sense, it can be a burden.카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션But one worth bearing?카지노 게임 컬렉션 we asked: 카지노 게임 컬렉션Certainly! I gained a sense of humanity. History forced me to examine things that I had taken for granted.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Ayela looks back on her Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s days with fond memories of friendships 카지노 게임 컬렉션made in seminars. The seminars were the best part. What I learned in them just stuck with me in a way that could never have happened with lectures, no matter how good they were. The coursework we had in our undergraduate seminars was pitched at a similar level to the graduate seminars at Georgetown.카지노 게임 컬렉션
