SMU Assistant Professor of Sociology Ijlal Naqvi was featured for his studies on how the electrical power sector in Pakistan provided a lens through which to examine the government’s level of service it provides to its citizens. Assistant Prof Naqvi teamed up with a Pakistan-based colleague, Dr Sohaib Khan of the Lahore University of Management Sciences, on an ambitious project to produce the first map of the country’s electricity distribution sector. The project will allow Pakistani citizens to better understand how they are being served. Assistant Prof Naqvi has also introduced a new Public Policy Task Force module at SMU this semester, in which students could observe a Singapore-based voluntary welfare organisation in operation. He plans to write a paper on community engagement in Singapore based on the findings from the project.
