Dr. Shireen Mushtaq

Dr. Shireen Mushtaq is a versatile woman with a passion for international relations and multiculturalism. Her decade-long career testifies to this both during her pursuit of a Ph.D in International Relations and now as an academic guiding graduate and post-graduate level students on such subject matter. She has authored many papers on the plight of minorities in countries ranging from Turkey to Myanmar. Whether it’s looking at the local geo-political sphere with papers like “The Proximity of US-Indian Interest in Afghanistan and Its Implication on Pakistan (2018)” to her most recent “Securitization of the refugee problem in Germany: the Far Right Challenge to government policies” proposing the need for acceptance and inclusion of those who are different, regardless of what unique identity or ethnicity is in play.
