PAIS success in IAS fellowships 2026!
Saadia Gardezi has been awarded and Early Career Fellowship at the IAS, to run between April/May 2026 and March 2027.
Congratulations Saadia! Her research explores how visual culture, particularly political cartoons, construct ideas of nationalism, identity, and security in postcolonial contexts.
Rather than depicting security as the simple management of threats, her thesis argues that political cartoons reveal a continuum where vulnerability, resistance, and everyday life intersect.
Saadia will use her IAS fellowship to develop her thesis into a book manuscript, to prepare journal articles, and to deliver a crossdisciplinary workshop series on Visual Methods for Politics and International Relations.
