Research work:
I worked as a consultant in the study “Formative Research to Identify Barriers and Enablers of Management of Possible Serious Bacterial Infection (PSBI) during COVID pandemic” from February to April, 2021. The objective of the study was to identify the barriers and enablers for management of PSBI in young infants, throughout the entire pathway from identification to care seeking to receiving treatment and follow up care, and formulate acceptable solutions in collaboration with the local government, health care providers and caregivers of young infants. The study was conducted in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Nigeria. I was involved in the study of Bangladesh part. The study was initiated by World Health Organization, sponsored by Gates Foundation and implemented by Johns Hopkins University, USA.

I did a half year long ethnographic fieldwork from August 2020 to January 2021 and wrote an article entitled, “Beyond push-pull dichotomy: Dynamics of rural-urban migration in Bangladesh."

I did ethnographic fieldwork in Rashidpur village in Munshiganj, Bangladesh from January to December, 2017 for my PhD program. I have already published a paper based on my fieldwork and writing other papers to accomplish an article based PhD.

I worked as a Senior Researcher in the project “Urbanization-Migration Nexus” from June, 2014 to March, 2015 initiated by LSE (London School of Economics) and sponsored by DFID (Department for International Development). The project explored how investment in urban construction and its concurrent demand for labour give rise to new and varied temporal forms of rural-urban migration. My responsibility was to supervise Research Associates and Research Assistants and write reports and coordinate with the Country Director, Bangladesh.

1. I presented a paper at ASA18: Sociality, matter and imagination: re-creating Anthropology hosted by the University of Oxford from September 18-21, 2018.

2. I presented a paper at the 15th EASA biennial conference ntitled, “Staying, moving, settling” hosted by Stockholm University from August 14-17, 2018.
