Dr. Sajeda Pervin Secures Prestigious British Academy ODA Grant for Groundbreaking Research
Achievements

We are delighted to congratulate Dr. Sajeda Pervin on securing the esteemed British Academy ODA International Interdisciplinary Research Grant, valued at RM1.44 million. This significant achievement highlights her dedication to advancing global research and policy development.

The British Academy ODA grant is highly competitive, supporting research projects that address critical global challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration. Funded under the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) framework, this grant aims to foster innovative research that directly benefits communities in developing countries. It encourages partnerships between institutions worldwide to generate knowledge that can drive sustainable development and inclusive economic growth.

Dr. Sajeda’s project, titled "Working as Female Entrepreneurs in the Global South: Gains, Losses, and Future Insights into Culture, Traditions, Race, Religion, and Geography", aims to explore the socio-economic factors influencing women’s entrepreneurship in developing regions. By investigating the intersection of culture, traditions, race, religion, and geography, the study seeks to provide valuable insights that can inform policies and initiatives supporting female entrepreneurs worldwide.

This research is particularly relevant in today’s rapidly evolving economic landscape, where female entrepreneurs continue to navigate structural barriers and cultural expectations. Through a comprehensive analysis, Dr. Sajeda’s work will contribute to the understanding of how these factors shape business opportunities, success, and challenges for women in the Global South.

The University of Southampton Malaysia takes immense pride in Dr. Sajeda’s success and her commitment to impactful research. We look forward to the outcomes of her study and the positive influence it will have on global entrepreneurship and policy frameworks.

Once again, congratulations to Dr. Sajeda Pervin on this remarkable accomplishment!
