Laila Khawaja, PhD student joins Nuffield Southampton Theatres (NST) as an ‘Excel’ Intern with Southampton Cultural Education Partnership .
Hi my name is Laila. I just had my successful PhD viva! Currently I am working in an Excel Internship with Southampton Cultural Education Partnership (SCEP) at NST.
This role is exciting for me because that is exactly what I like to do: bridging and building networks between cultural organisations and schools in Southampton. My passion for cultural education can be traced back to my pre-PhD experience. Whether as a member of a multi-disciplinary community healthcare team or part of a young people well-being research project in Dubai, I have been hugely interested in engaging and examining the interplay of culture and education on young people’s trajectories.
The Excel Southampton Internship Programme is a paid opportunity supported by the Careers and Employability Service at the University of Southampton
