Dr. Uzma Rashid, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Management and Technology in Lahore, Pakistan, has recently been appointed as Associate Dean for the School of Social Sciences and Humanities.

She recently presented in the Fulbright and Humphrey Alumni conference held in Islamabad, titled "Lag raha he madam Amreeka se wapas ai he~!" ["It does look like madam has returned from the United States"]: Gendered religious identities and sustainable development in Pakistan. It was an autoethnographic account of her own gendered religious performances since her return from the US, and she looked at those within the larger context of the country's issues of intolerance and discrimination.

She has just had an abstract entitled "Muslim women as leaders within and outside the Muslim community: Trends and challenges" accepted for presentation at the Summer Global Symposium on Women's Leadership to be held at the University of Riverside, CA, June 3-4 2016

Congratulations Uzma!
