Research Interests

Major expertise/experience and interest lies in gender
analysis particularly in post conflict settings. Worked closely in studying
and analyzing gender dynamics of different development and humanitarian
activities going on in post conflict areas. In addition, interested in
understanding and exploring the human security and its gendered impacts in
societies in transition.

Understanding the legal pluralities and legal plural orders
rivalling in complex societies is another filed of interest. Keen to
study this theoretical concept in future endeavors.

Although, major exposure and experience is set in
post crises Swat but the experience gained can definitely be used in conflict
and disaster settings at large.
