Maha is an environmental policy researcher, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Analyzing the potential of serious gaming to foster inter-organizational learning for Triple Access Planning under high Uncertainty. Her work and previous experiences focus on participatory approaches for stakeholders' inclusion in urban design, planning, and policy-making. Throughout her involvement with decision-makers and planners in inter-disciplinary projects, she noticed a gap in communication between stakeholders of differing backgrounds, which consequently hurdles their effective participation. For this reason, in her Ph.D., she is experimenting with serious gaming as a promising method to embrace the diversity of stakeholders and allow them to learn and be creative beyond the boundaries of their disciplines.
