Dr. Faheem Hussain is currently
teaching at LUMS. He has a PhD in
Theoretical Physics from Imperial College
London though his interests include
socio-political movements. He was a part of
the social movements in the 60s as a student
in London from 1960 to 1966, postdoctoral
fellow at Chicago and then as a young
faculty member at the University of

across the world including Pakistan where
the Anti-Ayub movement was at its peak and
student & trade union involvement was high.
