LINAS OPINION NO ONE ASKED FOR
a collection of research articles and opinion pieces written by me

ABOUT ME
My name is Lina Razia Idrees. I am half Pakistani half Bangladeshi and have spent a majority of my life growing up in Singapore. I am currently entering my final year studying Law LLB at the University of Exeter. I have a passion for writing and engaging in discourse on topics such as gender, politics, and race. My hobbies include reading, drinking an absurd amount of coffee, listening to podcasts and taking photos on my film camera.
