Dr. Muhammad Ajmal Khan studied English Literature at Government College Lahore, Punjab University, and International Islamic University, Islamabad. He has taught English and Comparative Literature for over twenty years now.
With an interest in international relations and history, Dr. Khan believes that there is an applied dimension to the study of literature, and it should produce generations of students who not only enjoy the aesthetics of literature but also become cognizant of international events, culture, and civilization. His is a pioneering work in introducing Palestinian Literature as a focus of reading and research in Pakistani academia.
Dr. Khan envisions that the students and the research scholars of the English Department should develop a comparative and interdisciplinary approach and while they are optimally capacitated to use their linguistic and literary skills in various professions, they should also become custodians of their socio-cultural values and intellectual heritage. Dr. Khan is a life member of Iqbal Academy, Pakistan, and has been on the review boards of several academic journals. He is also a poet and a short story writer. These days he is working on his book, Iqbal for Beginners.
