So when we work together, you’re getting more than a researcher.

Diverse Voices
A year-long project on diversity and religious freedom in the media. Besides conducting interviews with editors, developing training sessions for journalists, and administering grants for 10 media projects, I also edited and supervised development of ‘Moving Mountains: The Challenges of Religious Representation in Malaysia,’ sponsored by Internews. The report explores the perspectives of Malaysian stakeholders’ from the media industry and religious organisations.
