Mizna Akbar is fourth-year majoring in Global Studies with a Arabic & Islamic Studies minor. Her research focuses on migrant women’s health in the Mediterranean Refugee Crisis, with a focus on cultural barriers in healthcare provision and an examination of local and international NGOs and receiving nations’ healthcare systems accommodations for migrant women. Through her year-long Global Studies senior thesis, she hopes to explore this intersection of women’s health, migration, and globalization and to gain a greater understanding of how individuals’ experiences, culture, and environment influence their health. Mizna hopes for this research to serve as a starting point for her as she orients herself in the field of migrant health. After graduation, her plan is to attend medical school and further explore the unique healthcare challenges faced by marginalized communities, particularly immigrant, asylum-seeker, and refugee communities.
