Sadia Saeed Speaks of “Hailing the ‘Muslim’ Citizen: National Identity, State and the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan”
On February 15, Sadia Saeed, ACLS New Faculty Fellow, Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, will speak in the South Asian Studies Colloquium about her research on the historic formation of the “Muslim” citizen in Pakistan. Drawing on the empirical case of the historically shifting responses of the Pakistani state to the question of the religious status of the controversial Ahmadiyya community, her talk explores how legal boundaries of the category of “Muslim” have been historically negotiated and re-defined by the Pakistani state at three critical moments defined as accommodation (1953-4), exclusion (1974), and criminalization (1984).
