Resident Spotlight
Building on fieldwork conducted in Senegal, I plan to conduct a qualitative research study that examines the experiences of political violence in Senegal and their impact on mental health. I will collaborate with local psychiatrists and human rights organizations to ensure that my research reflects the lived experiences of those affected.—Zeynab Blondin Diop, M.D.
