Blasphemy is one of the most contentious issues in contemporary Pakistan. Founded as a safe homeland for Muslims, the country has wrestled with the role of Islam in the state since its inception. In this free public lecture, part of Aga Khan University's Governance Programme, historian Dr Yaqoob Khan Bangash will explore the history of blasphemy laws in Pakistan, and their effect on free speech and the rights of religious minority groups.

The tour will be led by Director of External Relations, Stephen Beddoe, and will present disciplines stretching from design and fashion to drama and cultural enterprise.

The members of Camden Tour Guides Association welcome their fellow Knowledge Quarter partners for an exclusive breakfast guided walk.
