New Season New Host!

The DISE Collective and The Diverse Economy Conversations for Youth Podcast would like to welcome our new host for Season 2, Serena Bahadur!
Serena is a fourth-year undergraduate student in the department of International Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Toronto. Her ambition and zeal have driven her to the Research Assistant and podcast host position for the DiSE Collective with Professor Caroline Shenaz Hossein. Serena hopes to inspire her own and the next generation of youth to engage with and tackle the systemic and racialized barriers of labor, education, and law. Her areas of research interests are Global North/Global South relations, immigration patterns, and project management. Serena’s next step is to obtain her master’s degree. Her biggest goal in life is to learn how to help mold the world into a place that helps us instead of harms us.
