About

Currently I am lecturer in Department of Anthropology, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur. In this field, I have been collecting information and making comparative studies to analyze the cultural differences in the humanity. I have been managing identification of culturally specific beliefs and practices of the human race. Furthermore, in Bahauddin Zakariya University, PMAS-AAUR, and The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, I have been supervising and guiding students in managing anthropological tools and techniques to get desired data and assisting in collecting specific data including cultural beliefs and history for analysis. I have also performed research work associated with cultural beliefs and culture of disability, particularly investigated relationship between sign language and culture in establishment of social relations among deaf and normal children. Moreover, while working in the field of psychological anthropology, I have also identified traumatic, pathological and working symptoms of psychological disorders and impact of culture on mentally challenged persons using methods of Psychological Anthropology, including Psychological tests of behaviours and personality.
