Salaam everyone!
I'm a master student in London and I'm writing my dissertation about young British Muslim women's experience in their spiritual and personal development. Because of the nature of my uni and my social circle, I'm having difficulty looking for sisters who are doing sciences and sisters who are not in uni to talk to.
Anyway I just wonder if there are any sisters here who may have a little time to share with me their experience? It will be anonymous and confidential and can be done over the internet - some form of instant messaging or, less ideally, through pm or email. Women that I have talked to for my project so far have found it quite fun and enjoyable.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions/doubts and please message me if you may be interested! Massive thanks!!
Wsalaam,
What course are you doing?
And what do you mean by spiritual/personal development?
"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi
I'm doing an MRes in Social Policy.
By spiritual and personal development, I'm basically trying to look at what are some of the factors in the women's lives that they feel have influenced their faith and aspirations. In the interviews that I have done so far, some of the common themes that have come up are family, community, peer influence and their experience in education.
Hope this answers your questions
i have no aspirations :s
That's alright! I will be interested in what you feel might have brought about that then...
I kid i kid you're allright but you certainly sound like a professional

sorry for my dumbness Joycew..but are you a guy or a girl?
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Foysol89, lol sorry
You know how when you write papers/essays they like you to sound really objective and unbiased (like when politicians speak they make the simplest things so complicated and fancy lol). That must have gotten to me! I'm not such an uptight person 
Lily, no don't say you're dumb! I'm a girl
then i'm more then happy to help you out with your research (Y)
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
allright, where do i sign up??????!
(unless u want me to be reading the small print first???)
