For Ovi, this shift is most clearly embodied in her experience in Rwanda as part of POL3395: Rwanda\u2019s Recovery: Experiential Learning in Peacebuilding and Reconciliation, taught by <a href=\"https:\/\/huronu.ca\/profiles\/faculty\/lindsay-scorgie-porter-phd\/\">Dr. Lindsay Scorgie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What begins as academic inquiry quickly becomes something more complex when encountered in place. Ovi reflects on what it means to engage with these issues not just through texts, but through conversations, environments, and communities, and how that encounter reshaped both her understanding of the subject and her sense of responsibility as a researcher.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia and Ovi also discuss Ovi\u2019s work supporting Dr. Scorgie\u2019s ongoing research and the development of <a href=\"\/\/www.huroninrwanda.org\">the course website<\/a>, offering a glimpse into how undergraduate students can contribute meaningfully to larger research initiatives while continuing to develop their own questions and interests.<\/p>\n<p>As with many of our Student Spotlight conversations, this episode highlights the ways opportunities, especially those that push us outside of familiar contexts, can deepen curiosity and sharpen intellectual commitments. Research, in this sense, is not just about finding answers, but about learning how to ask better, more grounded questions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element
