I have long-standing research interests concerning social justice, development, environment and the practices of social movements in the Global South, particularly South Asia and Southeast Asia, and in the Global North. In particular, my research has been concerned with two key areas of interest: the spatiality of social movements in the Global South and Global North; and the practical, political and ethical challenges of scholar activism. I am currently researching the politics of land occupations and social reproduction in Bangladesh, although my research also includes the urban as a terrain of resistance for contentious politics.
