During the specified timeframe, I had the opportunity to conduct research in the United States, specifically in Santa Barbara, California. My focus was gathering data for my dissertation within the premises of the Church of Scientology. Throughout my time there, I successfully collected the necessary data for my academic work and established valuable connections with scholars and researchers at the University of Santa Barbara. This engagement facilitated my research endeavours and enriched my academic journey by expanding my international network. My experience at the Church of Scientology gave me invaluable insights into the subject matter, allowing me to delve deeper into my research questions. Furthermore, the opportunity to collaborate with esteemed professionals at the University of Santa Barbara greatly enhanced the quality and scope of my academic work. Overall, this research experience contributed significantly to the advancement of my dissertation and broadened my academic horizons through meaningful collaborations and exchanges. I am grateful for the support and opportunities in Santa Barbara, which have undoubtedly enriched my academic and professional pursuits. |
