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.
