Final Year Project

Project Title

Female sainthood in Las Bela, Balochistan

Description

District Las Bela in Balochistan is a coastal district located in the South of the province, with Khuzdar district on its north and the Kirthar range on its east separating it from Sindh. Although Las Bela is home to centuries-old history pertaining to religion, economic, political and social history yet there has not been enough academic work done in this part of the country. Hence this course was introduced. Sacred Geography was an interdisciplinary approach to bringing students and professors from different backgrounds in participating and designing a field-based study and developing new methodologies for studying the history and cultural heritage of Baluchistan. This course allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and take challenges that would help me in deciding my future goals. At that point, I only knew that I was passionate when it came to studying Anthropology.
