Anisia-Elena Tamba, MA student at the West University of Timișoara, at the Faculty of Political Science, Philosophy and Communication Studies. During my BA I have discovered my interest in studying migration, radical political movements, racism, discrimination and human rights. After graduating, I chose a MA program in International Relations and the Management of Global Affairs at the same faculty. This particular master program offered me the opportunity to study in English while learning more about the subjects I was interested in. In parallel, I became a volunteer and even completed an internship at a refugee center in my hometown. Currently I am writing my final thesis on environmental degradation and migration in Sudan and I would like to continue my career in the same field.
