NURA JABAGI PhD, BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT I first chose Concordia for my MBA because of its well-known ties with the business community and its philanthropic spirit. I also developed a deep appreciation for its real-world teaching approach making it a no-brainer for me when it came time to decide on where to do my PhD.

My research focuses on the Digital Economy and on understanding how technological advances are disrupting industries, businesses, and jobs. Concordia’s philosophies and connections with real-world practice allow me to pursue my studies free from academia’s ivory towers.

Concordia is leading the way in Indigenous engagement initiatives and it's exciting to see where that momentum will lead the university. It's important for Indigenous students to have guidance and mentorship from the best Indigenous scholars, and it's important that our people and stories are treated with respect.

My research is on the Indian Day Schools that operated in my home community of Kahnawà:ke over several generations. For me, Concordia is a place where I can pursue these unique research interests while honouring my commitments to my family and community. My time at the university has helped me to reconnect with Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal as part of our traditional territory.
