THE LOOKING GLASS
Welcome to the knowledge base for The Looking Glass — a gender transformative education toolkit. We have leveraged multimodal pedagogies to explore power and gender to produce resources for formal and informal learning.
Our resources are built on extensive ethnographic case studies of minority and minoritised groups in Pakistan. It uses a decolonial lens to explore violent pasts and our collective and individual practices of remembering and forgetting. Our research has been translated into film, literature, and academic publications. Watch this space for community symposiums, new releases, and collaborations in your region!
