Sarah Khan

Sarah Khan is the founder of Sarah Khan Associates, a behavioural intelligence and research-translation firm based in Karachi. Her work sits at the intersection of research and practice, helping organisations and educators understand how people actually think, relate, and perform before investing in developing them.

She serves as Anchor Organisation Lead for Harvard University's EASEL Lab on the PSS-SEL Toolbox, where she led a cross-framework analysis of how social-emotional competencies are conceptualised across the Global South. She is a doctoral scholar in psychology at the University of Karachi, and has spent nine years designing and assessing social-emotional learning across formal and informal settings, including competency framework mapping & analysis across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Pakistan.

Patricia Gosch

Patricia Gosch

My work is shaped by professional experience and lived reality.

A career in law enforcement and public service has included leading programs focused on community safety, supporting missing persons investigations, and working in close partnership with Tribal communities across Washington State. That work has revealed gaps that often exist between systems and the communities served—and the critical role of trust built through consistency, respect, and accountability.

Connection to this work is also deeply personal.

Previously a foster parent, having an extended kinship network, and a descendant of a federal Indian boarding school survivor, bringing a perspective shaped by lived experience and a deep understanding of loss, resilience, and the lasting impacts of historical and intergenerational trauma. These experiences inform relationship-building, listening, and engagement—with a strong commitment to culturally responsive and trauma-informed practices.

Work alongside Tribal leaders, advocates, and partner agencies has supported efforts addressing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People (MMIWP), with a focus on strengthening collaboration and improving system responses.

At the core of my work is a belief that meaningful change happens at the intersection of relationships, accountability, and action. Focus remains on building trust and creating solutions informed by the voices and experiences of those most impacted.
