RESEARCH GRANTS

 

Co-Investigator, Cluster Research Grant, Zayed University, Abu Dhabi UAE, 2018-2020

Title: “Behind the Scenes: Perceptions of Young Arab Women”

The research seeks to examine the perceptions of young Emirati women. This past fall, we held our first workshop on Sir Bani Yas island in collaboration with Dr. Justin Thomas. The theme of the workshop/retreat was the implementation of mindfulness as a setting for the creative practice.
