MA NATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES, KING'S COLLEGE LONDON

A graduate of BA Politics, Philosophy and Economics; I have explored the nuances of several political dynamics that influence interstate cooperation while exploring approaches to conflict, war, peace, and security. My keenest interest is how the securitisation of Muslims and Islam in the UK impacts the prevalence of Islamophobia.

The MA in National Security Studies will equip me with a defined set of methodological aptitudes that can empower me to gather and analyse real-world data to test theoretically informed hypotheses about the sources, effects, and goals of numerous forms of peaceful and violent conflicts that not only result in the creation of state security and defence policies but the securitisation of ‘suspect’ communities.
