Yasmin Begum

Yasmin focuses on our Research and Insights initiative, which shares key highlights of current research in a clear and concise form, making it more accessible for those outside of the academic field. Having completed a Master’s in International Journalism, she’s particularly keen to take her research interests across multimedia platforms. She is focused on impact and believes the communication of academic research to wider audiences helps foster engagement to address structural inequalities.

Yasmin has taught in higher education for a number of years with a specialism in gender and decolonial identity. Her PhD was focused on Postcolonial Theory, Gender Identity and Diasporic Experience. She is a strong believer in expanding access to higher education and is currently a Lecturer in Higher Education working with foundation year students.

Yasmin also works with our global network of Associates who share the values of our organisation. Our Associates come from different fields, ranging from academia to industry and non-profits. They’re committed to promoting gender equality in the tourism and hospitality sectors.
