When Amal Khurram worked with us as an undergraduate researcher in the Jackman Humanities Institute’s Scholars-in-Residence Program, she had just finished her second year, majoring in sociology and education. While working with the Collaboratory, Amal worked on the Desh Pardesh Oral History Project and co-created a digital exhibition on this important queer South Asian arts festival entitled “Not a Place on the Map”: Desh Pardesh, 1988-2001. Amal completed her MA in teaching at OISE, University of Toronto, in 2021.
