Julius will be travelling to Ghana to research the role of water in helping women recover after the COVID-19 pandemic through conducting interviews with 30 participants over a 60-day period. This fieldwork is integral to his MA program by giving him an understanding of how location and power influence health and well-being. Julius is currently a master's student in Geography and Environmental Management combined with the Collaborative Water Program. The research that Julius conducts will be submitted for publications in peer-reviewed journals to inform women’s empowerment initiatives across Ghana. Julius hopes that his research will give a voice to marginalized populations and contribute to society.
