I think it's amazing how time flies. 4 school runs, 3 conferences, a publication & 1 qualifying exam later, I finished my first year of PhD. And, I am happy to join the Geneva Graduate Institute (IHEID) as a junior research fellow for my second year.
Q1:

First journal article upcoming in feb in a reputable Comparative Ed journal.
My work routine as a consultant got better. I like it so far

I will be working with really smart people at the Department of International Relations & Political Science to make sense
