Student research is the lifeblood of the Ethnography of Diversity in Higher Education (EDHE) at George Mason University. To give a taste of the breadth and range of the research currently underway by students involved with EDHE, every month we spotlight a student researcher and the work that they contribute toward exploring the limitless diversity of campus life at Mason.

Research in her own words:
" For my project I decided to study people who have invisible disabilities. They don't look sick, but in reality they have chronic and/or terminal conditions they have to live with. I wanted to know how they lived with such illnesses on Mason's campus, about their struggles, what challenged them, and how they overcame the obstacle of being a disabled / sick student, while those who don't know them or their condition remained ignorant to the pain and challenges a condition or disease can cause."
How Research Interest Developed:
"The reason I chose this topic is because I also have a chronic illness and wanted to know about others like me"
