We are excited to introduce our two research associates who will be working with the deVeber Institute over the summer. We can’t wait to share their findings with you!

e University of Western Ontario (UWO) in June of 2018 with a degree in English Language and Literature and Creative Writing. After graduating, she worked for a year as a teaching assistant in a grade one classroom.

She is also interested in sex-selective abortion and its impact on women and girls around the world.
