Dr. Sajjad, a professor of Human Growth and Development, has recently incorporated the lens of Global Peace and Conflict Studies, with a specific focus on the region of Kashmir in Pakistan, into her current syllabus. This innovative approach aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of human growth and development in the context of war and conflict in Pakistan. With a focus on physical, psychological, and cognitive growth for children in Kashmir, Dr. Sajjad is working to raise awareness about the needs of children living in conflict-affected areas.

Abdul Aijaz recently published "State, scarcity, and survival: A minor history of people and place in the Lower Bari Doab, Punjab" in Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space. Abdul's article examines the colonial legacies of agrarian policies in Punjab and offers a 'minor history' of the pastoral Baloch tribes of the Lower Bari Doab region that reframes conventional understandings about progress and resource development in the region.
