In the Rohingya refugee camps, Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, for conducting fieldwork this morning! I always feel deep attachment with the field and people rather than living in metropolitan and urban settings!

RML's panel discussion on the 8th #Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day 2025 was a fantastic one. Dr. Ibrahim, Prof. Shahab Khan, Dr. Lee, and Sis Razia were brilliant in discussing its legal, political and practical implications. Please find the recorded video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G6w...

আজ বিশ্ব শরণার্থী দিবস। প্রতিবছর এ দিনে আমি একটি নিবন্ধ লিখি এবং ফি-বাৎসারিক থিমের সঙ্গে সম্পর্ক রেখে বাংলাদেশের রোহিঙ্গা শরণার্থী সমস্যাকে দেখার, বোঝার এবং অন্যকে বোঝাবার চেষ্টা করি। এ-বছরের বিশ্ব শরণার্থী দিবসের প্রতিপাদ্য হচ্ছে “শরণার্থীদের সাথে সংহতি”। কিন্তু রোহিঙ্গাদের সাথে সংহতি বলতে আদতে কী বোঝায়, সেটা এ নিবন্ধে সংক্ষেপে ব্যাখ্যা করার চেষ্টা করা হয়েছে। পড়ার আমন্ত্রণ।

In a red brick arch under a bridge, a middle-aged blond man receives the ministrations of pigeons.

I asked if I could take his picture. Yes. I stepped across a band of shit. The pigeons began to frighten. Too close. A cloud of gray & blue & pink rushed at me. He looked up. Bare of birds. He said nothing. I stepped back. The birds returned. Together they ate. He said “Now,” & I took my picture.

In my field, a little goes a long way. So why must we chase large grants? More research council funding in the humanities and social sciences should be distributed in the form of micro-grants, says Peter Sutoris

Very good piece to understand why researchers need fund for doing good quality research. Also, conditional funds reduce the quality of research and challenge the academic freedom. Unfortunately, the challenges are mounting across the world, particularly in the US and the UK academia.

I gave a talk at South Asia Center, University of Pennsylvania, this morning on my research and experience in Bangladesh. It was a great interactive session. The Associate Director of South Asia Center gifted me a bag, the center's signature bag, with some small souvenirs inside. Enjoyed a lot!!
