About Naya Aljoudi

Naya has a background in gender studies and law. Naya is interested in poetry and has published two collections of poetry in which their cultural, literary, and research interests converge to form their current ecosystem of knowledge. Naya believes that writing and cultivating knowledge are two important tools for change. Naya is interested in the cultural intersections that newcomers bring with them and strives to focus on these in order to develop and improve related policies. Naya believes in collective collaboration (focusing on we rather than I) for current systemic change.
