Assalam-o-Alaikum/Hello!

I am Liaquat. Currently, I am a Professor (BPS-21) in the Department of English at GC University Hyderabad (GCUH), Pakistan. As a faculty in English at GCUH, I teach both undergraduate and graduate courses, conduct and supervise research, and particpate in administrative and community services. 

I was an Honorary Research Affiliate at the Mittal South Asia Institute, Harvard University, USA from February 2023 to February 2025. As the Syed Babar Ali Postdoc Fellow at Harvard University in 2022, I worked on hidden curriculum and English textbooks. As a Fulbright scholarship recipient, I completed my Ph.D. in Language and Literacy Education with focus on Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) & World Language Education at the University of Georgia, USA in 2014. I am also a British Alumnus too. I did my master's degree in English Language Teaching (ELT) at the University of Glasgow, U.K. in 2007, funded by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. 

My research interests broadly intersect at  language and education. Specifically, my work lies in fields such as applied/educational linguistics, language policy & planning, second/foreign language (teacher) education including textbooks, & research methodologies in the domains.
