Laidlaw Scholar Research Proposal- The Psychological Impact of the Almajiri System in Nigeria: A Comparative Study with the Daara and Madrasa Models in Senegal and Ghana

Here is my research proposal on the psychological impact of the almajiri system, a once renowned Islamic education system in West Africa that is now one with socioeconomic challenges. I'm excited to bring a unique Afrocentric perspective, bridging gaps in social justice, education, and psychology.

Hello everyone! I'm Aisha Adamu, a Lester B. Pearson Scholar studying psychology and neuroscience at the University of Toronto. My interests lie in mental health advocacy, educational equity, and empowering marginalized communities.

I founded a nonprofit at 15 to support education and youth empowerment, particularly for young women and internally displaced youth in Nigeria. Currently, through the Laidlaw Scholars Program, I'm researching the psychological impact of the Almajiri educational system in Nigeria, aiming to develop culturally sensitive interventions informed by comparative models from Senegal and Ghana.

Outside of academics, I enjoy swimming, running track, and exploring new recipes through cooking. I'm passionate about making meaningful connections and creating positive social change.
