Hello Everyone, In this amazing group of brilliant Doctors and PhDs, I’m the odd one out, not a PhD, not even in the making (yet!), just someone who has recently completed my MPhil coursework in Educational Leadership & Management from BNU and is only now starting to explore what the world of research actually looks like.

Managing schools is a whole different ball game, so this trip, attending an international conference, learning from all of you, and exploring new ideas, making new connections, feels like stepping into a whole new playground. I truly appreciate this wonderful initiative and find the conference theme of Tourism especially well thought out, as it beautifully combines professional learning with cultural exploration. I’m very excited to learn from all of you and also looking forward to making memories while soaking in the culture of Bukhara, Tashkent, and Samarkand. As Ibn Battuta said, “Traveling — it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” Looking forward to the journey ahead with all of you! Happy remaining Sunday! 🌸 Warm regards, Hina Irfan A researcher in the making
