Shahid S. Khan

I’m Shahid Khan, a policy adviser, peacebuilder, and advocate for human rights and social justice. I’m delighted to share my work and journey with you here!

I am honoured to have been selected as a Rotary Peace Fellow, an opportunity that will allow me to further my research in digital diplomacy and diaspora engagement at Duke University & the University of North Carolina starting in August 2025. My work focuses on inclusive policymaking, peacebuilding, and human rights, with a strong commitment to fostering social cohesion and empowering marginalized communities.

With a background in politics and international relations, I have worked extensively in government policy, international diplomacy, and social justice initiatives. In my role as Senior Policy Adviser with the Scottish Government, I have led efforts to address racial equality, public health policy, and digital transformation, ensuring that underserved communities have access to opportunities and representation in policymaking.

Let’s Connect!

I am always keen to collaborate with individuals and organisations working in policy, peacebuilding, human rights, and global development. If you’re interested in discussing ideas, partnering on projects, or inviting me for speaking engagements, I’d love to hear from you!

Feel free to reach out via LinkedIn, Twitter/X, or through my contact form—let’s explore ways to work together towards a more inclusive and connected world.

Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to engaging with you!
