Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Welcome Awardees Eklavya Vasudev, Daniela Vallejo, and Shuvra Dey. Their passion for human rights, diverse experiences, and commitment to creating meaningful change are truly inspiring. They embody FAU’s mission of fostering global leaders.
Grateful to receive the President’s Award from FAU. The early challenges of integrating in Germany were real, but FAU provided unmatched opportunities. For anyone in human rights research, I highly recommend FAU for its exceptional environment for growth and learning.
Had a wonderful time presenting my paper on the Future of Transformative Constitutionalism at the World Comparative Law Conference. Grateful to the organizers for the beautifully curated panel on new jurisprudence in the post-Anthropocene.
This week, we had our annual research retreat at the Sankelmark Akademie in Flensburg. @team_farahat, @markard_chair , and @feministconlaw's teams came together to exchange ideas and brainstorm. The beautiful setting, made it an inspiring blend of work and rejuvenation.
Just finished reading "The Overstory" by Richard Powers. 🌳 This novel's structure mirrors a tree, with sections like "Roots," "Trunk," "Crown," and "Seeds." It's a strong reminder of how deeply trees and nature impact our well-being. 🌲 #TheOverstory#ClimateChange
Cities and states are taking Big Oil to court. A pivotal case from Hawaii could reach the Supreme Court, impacting dozens of similar lawsuits. The Court's decision on this could set a precedent on how states can seek damages from fossil fuel companies. #BigOil#ClimateJustice

Our op-ed in The Hindu explores the role of emotional wisdom in the judiciary. Striving for unbiased decisions requires more than legal expertise; it demands a journey from emotionality to impartiality. #JusticeSystem#EmotionalWisdom@TheHinduComment
