Dr. Sadia Bajwa serves as a Research Associate at the Department of South Asian Studies within the Institute of Asian and African Studies (IAAW) at Humboldt University of Berlin, Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education. Holding this academic position since 2010, she additionally provides Academic Advisory services from her office at Invalidenstraße 118, Room 216, Berlin. Her work centers on critical historical analysis of South Asia with institutional affiliation to one of Europe's leading centers for area studies.
Her academic foundation includes:
- 2002-2004: Social Sciences studies at Lahore University of Management Sciences
- 2004-2009: Master's degree in South Asian History and Political Science at Heidelberg University
- 2009: Master's thesis analyzing Pakistan's nationalist historiography (1856-1947)
Bajwa's research critically examines historical narratives through lenses of nationalism, political identity, and postcolonial theory. Her expertise manifests in deconstructing Pakistan's historical discourse and Partition-era scholarship, revealing how political ideologies shape historical consciousness. This specialization positions her at the intersection of academic historiography and contemporary political analysis in South Asia.
Her publication record demonstrates consistent engagement with pivotal scholarly works on Pakistan's political evolution and the Partition. Through rigorous review essays in venues like South Asia Chronicle and H-Soz-u-Kult, she establishes critical dialogue around nationalist historiography, state formation, and memory politics—highlighting recurring themes of contested narratives and ideological framing in modern South Asian history.
