About Miki O'Connell
Hey there! I'm Miki, a 2025 scholar pursuing a combined degree in Persian, Arabic and International Relations at the University of St Andrews.
I care deeply about refugee issues - particularly in the Middle East, owing to my personal experiences with refugees in Jordan and Iran. My research project explores how the Jordanian and Lebanese governments' differing policies toward Syrian refugees have influenced their integration into their host societies.

I really admire how you’ve reflected on the contrast between your own challenges and the much greater burdens faced by those directly affected. Even though your time in Amman was shorter than you hoped, the encounters and insights you describe sound incredibly valuable hopefully you’ll get a chance to revisit. Most importantly, I really hope your family and friends are safe.
Thank you Yara for your kind words. 😊
