From expectations to choices - Exploring what shapes us <\/h1><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoin Dr Rab for an interactive session exploring how gender roles are learned, shaped, and passed on in everyday life, and how these ideas influence the way we see ourselves and others.\n
\nDrawing on social, cultural, and psychological perspectives, the session gives participants a space to reflect on how families, education, and social media shapes expectations around gender. The session will explore how these patterns develop over time and how they continue to affect our choices and conversations.\n
\nThis workshop offers a safe space to pause, listen, and think differently. Participants will leave with greater awareness of how gender roles are constructed, and with the confidence to engage more thoughtfully, whether by speaking up, listening carefully, or asking a different question.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fierce Self-Compassion with Shahbano Lodhi<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMindfulness Practices of Fierce Self Compassion\nShahbano Lodhi offers a workshop based on Kristen Neff\u2019s concept of Fierce Self-Compassion \u2013 a missing element in many lives and particularly for women, as society traditionally emphasizes her role of a tender caregiver and censures her qualities as a fierce protector. In Kristen\u2019s words \u201cSpecifically Fierce Self Compassion can propel us to stand up for and protect ourselves, meet our own needs without continually subordinating them, and motivate change both in ourselves and the world around us\u201d. \n
\nIn the workshop, Shahbano will facilitate a discussion to see where this need sits in our culture and particular context and lead us through mindfulness practices that help cultivate self-compassion.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Whose Story Matters? Gendered citizenship in Pakistani television drama, music and public art<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Led by Prof Dr Amina Yaqin, this interactive workshop examines how Pakistani television drama shapes and reflects ideas of gender, citizenship, and gender-based violence. Through guided discussion and selected drama clips, participants will explore who gets to tell stories on screen, forms of storytelling including melodrama and romance, and how themes such as marriage, honour, inheritance, and coercive control are portrayed in popular narratives.<\/p>

The session invites audiences to critically reflect on the representation of normalised behaviours, social stigmas, and emotions that trigger discomfort, empathy, or trauma. Combining audience discussion, small group engagement, and reflective exercises, the workshop creates space for dialogue on how media narratives represent lived realities\u2014particularly for women\u2014and how viewers interpret, respond to and are impacted by representations of gender and violence in everyday popular media content consumption.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
