Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Magnify
Meet Anuva Gajjar
Hello! I am a health and education activist who is passionate about addressing the complexities of inequalities in education and health. This includes understanding the multidimensionality of these issues separately and their intersections of it.
My experience with education inequality includes expanding education to underprivileged students STEM Academy, removing ageism in education through Meals that Heal, and barriers to research that inhibit the formation of informed perspectives based on current events through Magnify. I firmly believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and I reinforce that within Magnify to transcend obstacles like age, background, and literacy, that prevent an updated view on issues that span various communities that we all have the ability to contribute to, starting with awareness.
​
Magnify's initiative is to equalize access to education and knowledge by making research more understable, hence inclusive to wider audiences. Research is an important way to stay relevant with progress across diverse fields that enhance solutions to problems like climate change, social injustice, and more. I hope to inspire whomever is reading what I have written to:
-
Explore a feeling that I experience when I learn through articles and studies that shed light on the persistent inequality in health and education that kindle an intense fire within me, to actively strive towards effecting positive change. I wish to share that curiosity with my readers when they identify with a cause from the variety of topics I share in Magnify.
-
Seek out and engage with new information and ideas, even if you may have previously felt intimidated or excluded by more technical or specialized language.
-
Use the resources provided to continue learning and expanding your knowledge.
-
Apply what you have learned in your personal and professional lives, using the information and skills you have acquired to achieve your goals and make a positive impact in your communities.
-
Share your own knowledge and learning with others, thus creating a virtuous cycle of education and empowerment.
Research is not exclusive to anybody. Ultimately, the initiative aims to inspire individuals to learn and grow, in turn reaching their full potential.
