Biography
Sobia completed her PhD degree from Newcastle University in 2015. Her PhD thesis titled ‘Enclaves as Process: Space, Security and Violence in Karachi’ investigates socio-material processes of securitising urban space, and studies how processes of ‘enclavisation’ in turn exacerbate conflict and violence in the already divided Pakistani megacity. Sobia is an interdisciplinary urban studies scholar who works on urbanisation, securitisation and socio-political life in global south cities.
Research Interest
Her research focuses on the ‘lived’ aspects of urban insecurity.
