Abstract:

“I grew up in a very Pakistani household and so being Pakistani was a central part of my identity,” says Siddiqui, a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Albany’s Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy. Today she is emerging as a distinctive and leading voice on Pakistani politics — examining issues of political violence, religious tolerance, development and democracy.”
