Bushra Ali
Khan
Bushra Ali Khan (she/her) is an anthropologist and journalist specialising in border security studies, migration, and international refugee law. Her expertise lies in examining the intersections of climate change, human rights, and geopolitics to provide critical insights into some of today’s most pressing global challenges. Through a postcolonial lens, she explores how race, class, and gender influence government policies, shaping both domestic and international landscapes.

With a background enriched by extensive fieldwork and rigorous academic research, Bushra has conducted studies in refugee camps, collaborated with international think tanks and NGOs, and presented her work at global conferences, seminars, and roundtable discussions in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and Kenya. Over the years, she has deepened her expertise in migration policy and border management, contributing to numerous publications in the field.
Bushra’s dedication to social impact extends to volunteer work, particularly in education and human rights, focusing on community engagement and capacity building. Fluent in navigating multicultural and multilingual environments, she thrives in collaborative projects aimed at driving meaningful social change and fostering a more equitable world.
Bushra’s work reflects a commitment to equity, global collaboration, and impactful research that bridges academic knowledge with real-world application.
