"Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day, teach him how to fish by himself and you'll feed him for a lifetime."   This proverb has resonated with me since my early student life. As a researcher, it pushes me to strive and keep an inquisitive mind, enabling me to understand more profoundly this collective existence we experience. As a teacher, I go by it hoping to pass on the skills and motivation that would help learners to carve their independent paths.   Stephanie Raad has been serving as a part-time lecturer at the Faculty of Law and Political Science at USJ since 2021, teaching courses in Research Methodology at the Arab Master in Democracy & Human Rights (ArMA); Conflict Resolution and Negotiations, as well as Digital transformation & political systems at the Institute of Political Science. Having concluded her doctoral dissertation, titled "The Crisis of the State in the 21st Century in the Era of Transformative Revolutionary Technology" in 2022-2023 from the Université Saint Joseph de Beyrouth, she enthusiastically approaches this enriching academic journey with the young minds of tomorrow.
