My publications include deep-dives into honor killings for The News International and multiple essays for The Friday Times covering topics such as structural injustice in bonded labor, the depoliticization of classrooms, educational decay, and popular culture. I have also explored the "algorithmic society" and sociological perspectives of the pandemic for The Daily Spokesman. • Global Intellectual Dialogues: I conducted and published a comprehensive interview with sociologist Professor Siniša Malešević regarding the dynamics of nationalism in a globalized world. • Field Reporting & News Stories: During a research internship with Loksujag Media Organization, I produced data-driven work on the Election Commission of Pakistan. My field journalism includes critical environmental and social reporting, notably an investigative piece on the Camel Breeding Research Station in Bhakkar and a video documentary highlighting girls’ education obstacle in remote regions like Mahni Thal, Bhakkar. • Editorial & Publishing Management: I completed an editorial internship with Folio Books, gaining direct experience in manuscript editing, proofreading, and the marketing management of book publishing. Conference Presentations I regularly present peer-reviewed qualitative and quantitative findings at national and international conferences: • Methodological Theory: Presented "The Epistemic Limits of Qualitative Inquiry: A Poststructuralist Critique of Methodological Conventions" at the Graduate Conference in Sociology (May 2025). • Media & Climate Change: Presented "Media and Climate Change: The analysis of crisis's coverage in Pakistani newspapers" at Kinnaird's 4th International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities. • Gender Studies Coverage: Delivered oral presentations evaluating media tones regarding women's lives at the UMT International Conference on Sociology, and analyzed violent radicalism against women at the University of Home Economics, Lahore.
