  • FOUZIA SAEED, Phd
    CURRICULUM VITAE FOUZIA SAEED, PhD Summary of Professional Experience Fouzia Saeed is among one of the known folklorists in Pakistan. She has always taken pride in her folk culture and has propagated throughout her work and living. This has been an important dimension of her life. She has been actively engaged in pursuit of traditional culture. Among her writings on culture the most prominent is a book Forgotten Faces: the daring women of Punjabi theatre, tracing lives of women who acted in the folk theatre in 60 and 70s. This came about after research over several years. This to date has remained Lok Virsa’s only contribution in women in folklore that they proudly show off. Her other research and publications include both material and non-material culture. Her book on the lacquered work of Dera Ismail Khan remains to be a reference for that kind of intricate woodwork. Her interest in folk theatre, folk music and dancing spans over 4 decades where she not only herself is an excellent folk dancer but has written about it in many places including a piece for an encyclopedia. Her other prominent successful contribution to the folklore of Pakistan was leading a movement for Manganhaar music for over ten years, committed to make their music popular in the country. Young boys and girls from their community were encouraged systematically to join the profession, learn from their elders in their baithaks and then the best among them took part in a competition. This took the shape of a very successful annual mela in Karachi witnessed by media and the elite.

  • Higher Education, Employment Opportunities and Women Empowerment in Pakistan
    Pakistan Journal of Distance & Online Learning Volume: VI, Issue I, 2020, 85-113 Higher Education, Employment Opportunities and Women Empowerment in Pakistan Nasim Khan Mahsud1 Rabia Ali 2 Abstract This article draws from a PhD study to explore potential relationship among higher education, employment opportunities (being indicators of globalization) and women empowerment in Pakistan. It precisely focuses on women’s status, individual autonomy, family inter-personal relationships, and economic empowerment. The study was conducted by using the sequential, mix-method design. Initially data from 376 women were collected through survey followed by 26 in-depth interviews. The current paper is based on qualitative data acquired from 26 respondents from three-03 different domains of expertise (Parliamentarians, Journalists, and high-profile academicians/deans, vice-chancellors). The data was analyzed thematically, and transcripts were examined by the verbatim transcription analytical approach to look for themes and sub- themes. The findings show that women remain subjugated in Pakistan as they continue to be deprived of their rights and experience low status. Men remain in positions of power and prestige as they are the ones to occupy and utilize resources. Women remain under-represented in politics. However, in recent times, higher education and job opportunities have brought comfort to women’s lives but they have to struggle hard to get empowered. The study concludes that providing women with higher education and work opportunities is inevitable if we really want to empower women in Pakistan. Keywords: Higher education; employment; globalization; women empowerment; thematic analysis 1 Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Allama Iq1bal Open University Islamabad, Pakistan.

Zellie M.A., M.S., Principal Investigator Amy M. Lucas M.S. Landscape Research LLC 1466 Hythe Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 2009 This page intentionally left blank Management Summary In 2007, Hennepin County (HCWT) contracted with Landscape Research LLC to conduct a cultural resources study for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Corridor in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. This project is a component of the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Community Works Strategic Development Framework. The study area was defined by Hennepin County (Fig.1). It extends from 28th Street at the north to E. Minnehaha Parkway at the south, and includes the first tier of properties along the east side of Minnehaha Avenue. The project area extends across Snelling and Dight (Railroad) Avenues and includes properties along the east side of Hiawatha Avenue. The cultural resources study has two parts. The first provides a land use history for the project area, beginning with the development of the territorial road and rail corridor in the mid-19th century and extending through the 20th-century development of industry and housing. The land use history will provide information for Hennepin County planners and community stakeholders involved in future planning for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha corridor.
