Sweta Kumari<\/b> calls herself a storyteller. She immensely enjoys sharing and listening to personal stories for she believes stories help you appreciate the uniqueness of human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n She grew up in a small village of Jharkhand, India in a family of progressive parents and loving brothers. However, girls in her community were not encouraged to have higher education or dream of a career. She defied norms by not only finishing high school, but moving to Bangladesh on a full scholarship to attend college. Asian University for Women became her stepping stone and she never looked back. Post her Bachelors in Liberal Arts, Sweta moved to pursue a PG Diploma in Liberal Studies at Ashoka University, India. She worked briefly as a teaching assistant at Ashoka University and thoroughly enjoyed teaching. Her passion for liberal arts, writing, and academia brought her to NYUAD. As an assistant instructor of writing, she looks forward to adding new dimensions to her teaching and learning experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n Sweta majored in politics, philosophy and economics (PPE) and her academic interests vary from gender and sexuality studies, literature and cultural studies to study of religions, international relations, migration, and diaspora.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sweta Kumari calls herself a storyteller.
