I am a PhD researcher at UC. I am from Bangladesh, my academic background is rooted in English Literature and Cultural Studies. I completed an M.A. in English Language, Literatures and Cultures from the University of Göttingen, Germany, and an M.A. and B.A. (Honours) in English Literature from the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh.
My previous research has focused on colonialism, postcolonial theory, literature, culture, migration, and political issues in South Asia. My master’s thesis, Colonial Legacies and Neocolonial Transitions, examined the continuing impacts of colonial legacies and neocolonial transitions on Women, Ecology, Economy and Resistance through selected works by Arundhati Roy, Aravind Adiga, and Imbolo Mbue.
PhD Thesis: Rohingya Refugees, Politics, and Political Parties of Bangladesh
My thesis examines the politics of the Rohingya identity, refugee crisis and its relation to the political landscape of Bangladesh. Since the mass displacement of Rohingya people from Myanmar in 2017, Bangladesh has become host to one of the world's largest refugee populations. The project also investigates how major political parties in Bangladesh have responded to the crisis and how the refugee issue has been represented within political discourse, policymaking, electoral politics, and public debates.
