I am a student of M Phil Development Studies at Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) which is one of the well reputed public sector educational institutes of Pakistan. I have been keenly interested on various under researched areas of Pakistan. For this reason, i am doing my M Phil thesis on transgenders who are perhaps the most marginalized communities of Pakistan. Last year, i participated and presented student paper on homosexuality and HIV/AIDS in Argentina at a conference organized by International Association for the Study of Sexuality, Culture and Society (IASSCS). I am also a member of non-profit association Civic Face that works for the social uplift of secluded groups of Pakistan. I have traveled to Europe and South America where interaction with the scholars and activists have added to my academic bank.
