I am a graduate in Anthropology and currently pursuing my MPhil in the field. My interest lies in exploring cultures, identities, and the many ways people live and make meaning in the world. Over the years, I have studied the complexities of human behavior, social structures, and cultural expressions, both in classrooms and through fieldwork. For my Bachelor’s, I wrote a thesis titled “Negotiating Empowerment and Societal Critique: An Anthropological Study of Feminist Discourse in the Aurat March,” where I examined feminist voices, agency, and the tensions between empowerment and societal resistance in Pakistan. I enjoy critical thinking, reflective writing, and conversations that challenge perspectives. This space brings together ideas, questions, and stories that matter, rooted in anthropology but open to much more. Whether it’s on everyday social issues, reflections from fieldwork, or conversation starters, my aim is to spark curiosity and open new ways of seeing the world.
