Delighted to announce the launch of my new @wellcometrust.bsky.social project: The Mental Health Costs of Statelessness (MH-COST). In partnership with Imkaan Welfare Organisation, I'll explore how lack of documentation & exclusion affects the mental health of adolescents & young adults in Pakistan.

Partition of Identity – An exploration of Belonging in Bengalis in Pakistan, 1971- 2021

Humera Iqbal @humeraiqbal.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Drawing on 85 oral history interviews, we introduce the concept of suspended identity to describe the impermanence and precarity of citizenship status that defines life for many Pakistani Bengalis, resulting in deep, intergenerational consequences for an already marginalised community

Humera Iqbal @humeraiqbal.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

In the article we explore how historical conflict, state-security frameworks, and racialised assumptions continue to shape citizenship policy and practice for Pakistani Bengalis in Karachi. Despite being 3rd & 4th generation residents, many continue to face challenges around citizenship.

Much of my research over the past 5 years has been focused on statelessness & non-citizenship, particularly centring on ways to raise awareness of this issue globally. Find out more about the Partition of Idenity project I lead here (poistudy.com).
