As a dedicated MSc student in the Erasmus Mundus program for Redesigning the Post-Industrial City (RePIC), I am passionate about fostering sustainable, inclusive urban spaces. My academic journey began with a First Class Honours BA in Geography and Sociology from University College Cork, where I explored urban dynamics and the importance of third spaces for people with intellectual disabilities in Cork City.Now based at Ruhr University Bochum, my current research examines the reimagination of urban spaces in a post-industrial context. As part of my RePIC program, I will continue this work in Istanbul next semester, further expanding my global perspective on urban regeneration and inclusivity.
