Nour Ghobrial

Hi! My name is Nour Ghobrial, and I am in my first year of the Ph.D. program in Disability Studies. Before joining DHD, I was studying interdisciplinary health sciences at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.

Why did you choose DHD at UIC?
While working as a disability advocate at Beckwith Residential Support Services in Urbana-Champaign, my supervisor informed me about this program. After further research, I was drawn to the interdisciplinary nature of DHD and its esteemed faculty.

What do you want to do with a DHD degree?
I hope to train future healthcare providers with a focus in culturally competent care, specifically when working with queer people with disabilities.

Education
