Student, University of York

I am interested in politics and international relations, especially left-wing political theory, Middle Eastern/North African politics, general conflict studies, African politics, and to a lesser extent research into theological and ethnic politics, though primarily political issues regarding Iraq, Syria, and Kurdistan. I am doing my Laidlaw research project on the question: "What was the logic Behind the Yezidi Genocide?" Please message me if you're interested in any of those things.

Sophie Catherine McNally

Student, University of York

Hi there! I'm a University of York undergraduate studying History. I'm really passionate about anything to do with History or Politics, and I love to learn about others' backgrounds, cultures and ways of life! I speak French to an intermediate level, and I compete in both rowing and other sports and societies like Model UN. I'm really easy going though so I'd be interested in whatever anyone else has to say/is passionate about :)) My research project is looking into whether popular culture divides or unites peoples and societies.
Emel Kucuk

Student, University of York

Hi! I'm a second-year MSci Pscyhology undergraduate following the neuroscience and neuroimaging pathway. I'm passionate about cognitive neuroscience and essentially investigating how our behaviour is explained by our brain. My inquisitiveness motivates me to investigate further to find answers or improve my knowledge so a PhD and a career concerning research psychology appeals to me. I'd love to help others whenever I can so feel free to contact me if you need a participant, someone to talk to or just someone to listen to you.
