BIOGRAPHY

I hold two postgraduate research degrees: An M.Phil. in English Literature from Minhaj University Lahore and an M.Phil. in English Language and Literature from the University of Sargodha. My research contributions are noteworthy, particularly as a pioneer of the Edwardian analysis of drama. While previous scholars have predominantly used Brechtian approaches, I introduced Edward Bond’s dramatic theory to the study of English drama. My research, titled Ali’s Theater for Reason: An Edwardian Analysis of Usman Ali’s Plays, offers a critical examination of five plays by Pakistani English playwright Usman Ali through the lens of Edward Bond’s perspective on theater. I completed this work with distinction, earning a CGPA of 3.41. Since 2014, I have been teaching English Language and Literature at various institutions, including the University of Sargodha (Mandi Bahauddin Campus), the University of Central Punjab (Gujranwala), the University of Lahore (Gujrat Campus), and currently, the University of Chenab (Gujrat). My academic interests span Classical and Modern Literature, with a special focus on Romantic, Anglophone, and South Asian literature. I have completed two M.Phil. theses, supervised 35 research projects at MS and BS levels, and authored 10 research publications and 10 literary reviews in international newspapers. Additionally, I am a published poet, with my work appearing in anthologies, websites, magazines, and newspapers. I am also the founder of The Wordsmith International E-Magazine.
