Hello! My name is Batool and I am a final year Arts and Sciences at UCL. I take classes on environmental sciences, social policy and education.

For my summer research project, I co-produced a policy brief with student recommendations for sustainable futures in higher education which is addressed to policy makers in universities in the UK. This research project is still ongoing, under the supervision of Prof Lizzie Rushton, we are developing a research paper to further understand student ideas of sustainability in higher education. 

For my Leadership-in-Action project, I am conducting this same research project with WWF-Pakistan. I am organising participatory workshops with university students from Lahore and plan to use this research for my undergraduate dissertation. If you have any questions about these projects, and about conducting a research-based LiA please do not hesitate to message me!

At UCL I was the President of the UCL Sign Language Society where I led a team of 9 other undergraduate students to organise sign language classes and events to raise awareness of deafness for a society which has over 200 student members. I am currently the Vice President of the Ahlulbayt Islamic Society committee, organising charity campaigns and faith-based awareness events on taking action for global issues.
