Marium is also the president of the Diaspora and Transnational Studies Union, where she is working to create more inclusive spaces on campus. The group discusses the difficulty in navigating burnout, how we can work towards better representation, and how to challenge institutional frameworks to create safe and inclusive spaces on campus.
