UCSB's Global Studies Department is having its colloquium series on Global Uprising. I’ll be there on Feb 12 to talk about the recent uprisings in Bangladesh, which led to the fall of an authoritarian regime. Zoom option available - check it out if you're interested!

Looks like a great volume. I too have a chapter on Bhopal in it.

Bhopal artists gather outside the abandoned Union Carbide factory wall to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the world's worst industrial disaster and ongoing corporate masacre. Join us in Bhopal or do something in your city to commemorate. #Bhopal40 @dhruvalization @ICJBhopal

Bangladesh has elected only women prime ministers in its democratic history since 1990. You heard it correct, it never had a male pm. May not be a paragon of democracy, but it holds symbolic significance. Perhaps it’s overdue for the US to reflect on its self-proclaimed bravado.

This volume is scheduled for publication in March 2025 and features scholars and scholarship from all continents of the Global South.

At the end of the chapter, I dropped the concept "climate authoritarianism," which I thought I would explore further in my future work. However, given the recent collapse of authoritarianism following a mass uprising in Bangladesh, it seems unnecessary!

I contributed the lead chapter (chapter one), "The Path to Neoliberalism," to this volume on social transformation in Bangladesh. I explore the political economic journey that led to the rise of neoliberalism in Bangladesh. https://t.co/3q2IXBu5BE

Now imagine the hassle for those who travel internationally frequently.

My reflections and a few suggestions in this brief piece, amidst the democratic crisis in Bangladesh. https://t.co/5kD5BTpBlm

Today is the first day of Bengali New Year 1431. Every two months constitute a season, resulting in six seasons in a year, symbolizing the region's rich natural diversity. Happy New Year, everyone.

As a religious minority coming from Bangladesh, it is disheartening to witness India repeating its tragic history instead of learning from it. Majoritarianism is akin to a dangerous virus, wreaking havoc on the foundations of a diverse society. #India #Majoritarianism

🚨STRIKE DAY! Thousands on historic STATE-WIDE STRIKE! 📢TELL @thecsu management to invest in their FACULTY & STUDENTS! ⏰Time for manageable workloads, fair pay, more mental health counselors, better parental leave, & safe campuses. #RaisetheFloor #SolidaritySeason

Editors in top North American sociology journals are adding right-wing academics from the global South to their boards. While this may happen unknowingly, consulting with GS colleagues could help. Another example of the pitfalls of relying solely on quant metrics like citations.

I made an appearance on @WIONews to express my thoughts on #BangladeshElections2024. My segment starts at the 4:40-minute mark of the video.
