About Ashiya Dewan

Hi there! I'm Ashiya, a member of the 2025 Laidlaw Scholars Leadership & Research Programme Cohort. I'm a student at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, pursuing a double major in Peace, Conflict & Justice and Ethics, Society & Law.

My passion lies in education and the governance of digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. I am currently exploring how the intersection of this affects children facing socioeconomic disadvantage through my Leadership-in-Action project in North-East England.

I look forward to reading and contributing to the incredible body of work on this platform. I love to read, hike, do ballet and learn new things - please feel free to reach out to connect anytime! :)

A fantastic reflection as always! I am so proud to see you defend the work you have poured your intellectual rigour and heart into since your first summer as a Laidlaw Scholar. Can't wait to read more and see how your workshop unfolds! Keep it up Viktoria 👏
