'Dr Morgan-Collins has been an amazing lecturer; I have never had a module with such an organised and incredibly informative lecture; the slides are so useful and provide a quick summary of the readings, which are a blessing to refresh memory with and all readings are covered which allows us to consolidate our understanding which is excellent. Mona is so helpful and her seminars are interesting; she has been excellent with feedback and essay help. She takes on feedback well and tries her absolute best to make the module better. The selection of readings are perfect and I really appreciate how she understood it was a lot and reduced it to guiding us with which pages to read. The range of essay question selection is also perfect and the module was organised so well that preparing for exams has not been an issue. I have never felt lost (which is a first for me) throughout this module; in fact I have never been so clear with expectations and module content.'

'Attending your seminars has been one of the best experience in my master study. It is an interesting and challenging course, so I am truly grateful that you organized this class systematically and you are always professional and patient with us. It’s a pity that we only have one semester to learn from you and I am curious about the other half of this module’s content. As I said before, I really appreciate that you carefully selected the seminal papers for us to get started quickly on a new topic.'

"Mona is an inspiration and role model to not only female students seeking to enter academia but also more broadly all female students with focused career ambitions, as she encourages them to aim high and also provides her own example. Her research focusing on the political roots and consequences of women’s suffrage also underlines the importance of women in politics, and emphasises the need to better understand such often-neglected questions in women’s history and politics. She always seeks to subtly make students aware of the unconscious gender (or any other) biases we all hold, both through some of our tutorial topics, and through some of her comments in general discussions we have on tutorials. For these reasons I think she is a great inspiration to female students studying politics at Durham."
