Kasturi Devi Kanniah

Visit to the School of Geography and Environmental Science, Dundee University as a Global Scholar from 15 Aug to 16 Sep 2022. The 4 weeks visit was very fruitful. The programme funded by the INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH (ISSR) resulted not only in knowledge exchange between Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Dundee University, but also research and other academic collaborations. Four weeks was too short to produce any tangible outcomes from the visit however, it led to many initiations for potential students and staff exchange between UTM and Dundee University, research collaborations among UTM, Dundee and Oxford University, journal article publication, and postgraduate student supervision.
