for article titled, The Hijra Clap in Neoliberal Hands: Performing Trans Rights in Pakistan
#ChangeTheClap, a 2017 social media campaign aimed at combatting stigma towards Pakistan’s marginalized transgender communities, draws upon the distinctive hijra clap, even as it erases the embodied clapping hijra. The changing hands of the clap across almost a decade of activism gestures to the neoliberal limits of the trans rights movement in Pakistan and attempts to contain hijra identity.

for article titled, A Split Discourse: Body Politics in Pakistan's Popular Punjabi Theatre
While the “bad girls” of Pakistan's contemporary Punjabi theatre are accused of “obscenity” and “vulgarity” and punished by harsh censorship, girls from “good families” are actively promoted in Anglophone dramas. Punjabi performers reverse the gaze onto this split discourse, exposing the body politic's gender and class biases.
