Alia Bukuru, GHRAD Research Assistant

What is most interesting or unique about your research?
What I find most interesting about my work is listening to survivors' stories in kirundi and learning from the way they share their experiences in their own narrative language. Through, subtitling, I help carry that meaning into English so their stories can reach and be understood by a wider audience.
What do you value most about being part of GHRAD?
What I value most about being part of GHRAD is the opportunity to support the organization’s important work while educating myself about what happened during the genocide.
What originally drew you to your field of study?
I was drawn to computer science because it offers strong problem-solving skills that can be applied in many different areas.
