As a Ph.D. candidate in second language education, Azzahrawi is always attentive to search and write about inclusiveness in education and how to protect people’s rights and respect their humanity. This was obvious in articles she published as an author and as a co-author to raise awareness in the community and among educators and policymakers.
Azzahrawi firmly believes that incorporating members with diverse cultural practices, beliefs, and contributions, and supporting them to live, work, and communicate with other groups in society will ultimately assist in developing more cohesive and productive communities.
