Aisya A. Zaharin

Aisya A. Zaharin’s doctoral research spans multiple disciplines, including political science, history, social justice, and Islam. She serves as the Migration Policy Analyst with Scarlet Alliance and a member of the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Gender Diverse Advisory Committee, centring on intersectional advocacy that addresses the complex interplay of migration status, racial discrimination, and gender-based violence. Growing up in a nation grappling with its colonial past, she spent her formative years learning about the Sabra and Shatila massacre from her mother, a historian who had a profound impact on her understanding of history and worldview.
