“When I first came to Pembroke, I had no idea of the opportunities and challenges that I would encounter during my time here. One of the most exciting things about studying European and Middle Eastern languages at Oxford is the freedom to explore a range of disciplines. The paper I enjoyed writing most was my bridge essay, in which I chose to discuss migrant narratives in German and Arabic, because it allowed me to bring together ideas from all areas of my course in new and exciting ways.
The original reasons why I chose Pembroke have regularly stood out to me throughout my time here, such as the architecture, the engineering tutors, the halal food and the accommodation. Moreover, I hail from a small, homely town in Surrey so truthfully the life and community at Pembroke didn’t feel a world away from home.
“I remain deeply impacted by the time I spent in Oxford studying Islamic law, as well as the traditional study of Islamic law that I was doing at the same time. When I returned to the US to begin law school, I missed the truly international intellectual discourse that I experienced at Oxford and felt that American legal debates could do more to include and learn from international voices and other legal traditions.
