Qatar : GU-Q Highlights Student Research on the Indian Ocean
Highlighting its dedication to mentoring undergraduate researchers, Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) hosted a unique research conference for its first Indian Ocean Fellows, an initiative of the Sonneborn Interdisciplinary Collaboration Chair.
The Fellows – students and alumni from Georgetown campuses in Doha and Washington, DC – presented their cross-disciplinary projects related to the Indian Ocean region under the theme “Movement and Stasis.”
The Sonneborn Chair was recently awarded to Rogaia Abusharaf, GU-Q Professor of Anthropology, with her collaborators, Professors Anaya Chakravarti and Cóilín Parsons, from Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The chair, which seeks to advance collaborative and innovative work in interdisciplinary research and mentored student learning, provides funding and support to advance their research and support student engagement as part of the Indian Ocean Working Group (IOWG).
