The aim of the con­fer­ence is to pro­vide a com­pre­hen­sive plat­form for researchers, aca­d­e­mics, prac­ti­tion­ers, pol­i­cy­mak­ers, Hakims, and com­mu­ni­ty stake­hold­ers to come togeth­er and delve into var­i­ous aspects relat­ed to the preser­va­tion and pro­mo­tion of Sindh’s tra­di­tion­al med­i­cine and cul­tur­al her­itage in its broad­er frame­work that includes tan­gi­ble and intan­gi­ble her­itage. The con­fer­ence will exam­ine the ways in which the forces of urban­iza­tion and dis­as­ters have posed a threat to indige­nous knowl­edge, her­itage, urban spa­tial­i­ty and aes­thet­ics and inves­ti­gate pro­tec­tion strate­gies. There has been debate and stud­ies on human and infra­struc­ture loss, but there is no dis­cus­sion that responds to the ques­tion of the exclu­sion of per­spec­tives on address­ing the impact of change on tra­di­tion­al and folk med­i­cine and cul­tur­al her­itage of Sindh.

This con­fer­ence marks a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone as it pio­neers a tra­di­tion of inter­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lab­o­ra­tion across fields from His­to­ry, Cul­tur­al, Urban, and Med­ical Anthro­pol­o­gy, Archae­ol­o­gy, Dis­as­ter Man­age­ment, Her­itage stud­ies, Agri­cul­ture, and Phys­i­ol­o­gy.
