CONFERENCES

I have been proactively engaged in international conferences, as an organizer, presenter, participant, member of the scientific committee, panel discussant, and session chair. I have been a member of the webinar organization team for the Society for Critical Studies of Crisis Webinar Series (2021–2023) on Critical Explorations of Crisis at Lund University, Sweden. In March 2020, I organized the First National Conference on Qualitative Psychology (NCQP2020) at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan. Since 2012, I have presented my research in more than 30 international conferences.
