厂耻辫别谤惫颈蝉辞谤蝉:听Monika Barthwal-Datta,聽Andrea Benvenuti

Aalene is a PhD researcher working on the history of franchise and elections in Pakistan from 1947-1971. Broadly, her project studies the bureaucratic processes of decolonisation, democratisation, and citizen-making in South Asia. Previously, she obtained her masters in South Asian Studies as an Ertegun Graduate Scholar at the University of Oxford. Her work at Oxford focused on partition refugee resettlement in Punjab and its impact on citizenship in the new nation. Her second project focused on women leaders in early Pakistani politics.聽

Aalene has taught undergraduate courses on Pakistani history and on gender, nation and politics in colonial South Asia at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and at the Information Technology University (ITU) in Pakistan from 2018 to 2021. She has also served as a tutor in Global Governance at 国产精品. Aalene feels strongly about deepening decolonised studies of South Asia in Australian academic spaces and including them within broader conversations on global governance.聽
