About Noura McNelis Mahmoud

Hello! I'm Noura, a University of St Andrews student heading into third year. I study International Relations and Modern History, and I particularly am interested in migrant rights and decolonial histories. My project aims to examine the experiences of children in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, pinpointing the uniqueness of those experiences and utilizing both data and autobiographies of enslaved people in order to come to new conclusions regarding our understandings of the slave trade. 

Outside of my studies and project I love the outdoors, baking/cooking for my friends, art in all forms, and cultural exploration! 

If you want to chat send me a message! I would love to connect with you about your project or interests, or if you have any knowledge that could contribute to my work!

Thanks Oliver! I appreciate all your support of the summer

Thank you for sharing your daily reality with us Ele. Managing mental health as an ambitious researcher (like you are) is a constant effort, but you've put it into eloquent words that give others with similar experiences a sense of voice and recognition. Profoundly proud of you!
