Dr. Amen Jaffer, Assistant Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani School of Humanities and Social Sciences (MGSHSS) participated in the inaugural two-week summer workshop titled, 'Summer Program in Social Science' organised by the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), New Jersey, USA from June 18-29, 2018.
The Workshop featured 20 early career scholars from Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America who shared their research projects with the aim of enriching the scope of the social sciences by enabling a discussion between different intellectual traditions and points of view and by facilitating international networks across continents. The programme sought to feature voices from the global south, something that has been largely missing from academic discussions and syllabi around the world.
