Biography

Prof Dr Sajjad Ali Khan is a scholar of modern British literature whose work examines how ideas of education, growth, and consciousness move from Romantic thought into the formal and philosophical experiments of Literary Modernism. Trained at the University of Sussex, where he completed his MA and PhD in Modern and Contemporary Literature, Culture and Thought, he works at the intersection of Romantic epistemology, modernist narrative technique, and the evolving concept of the literary self.
His research, published in peer-reviewed Pakistani journals, explores topics such as epiphany, temporality, aesthetic development, and the pedagogical imagination in writers from Wordsworth to Joyce and Forster. Across these studies, he traces how literature models processes of intellectual formation and ethical insight.
Prof Khan supervises research at the BS, MPhil, and PhD levels and regularly examines theses and evaluates academic work for universities across Pakistan. At GCU Lahore, he contributes to curriculum reform, research-led teaching, and disciplinary development through his roles as Professor of English, Director of the Institute of English Language & Literature, and Chair of the Department of English.
He has played a central role in reshaping the curriculum across programmes and in establishing the Institute of English Language & Literature as a consolidated academic home for the discipline.
