Biography:
I was born and brought up in a beautiful village (Dighirpar) in Munshigonj, Bangladesh
which influenced me to love literary works in general. My undergraduate years shaped
my thinking pattern towards post-colonial studies, and my ten year university teaching
experience pushed me to think of a life under the terrible influence of surveillance
capitalism. I then worked on surveillance studies at UBC's beautiful Okanagan campus
which developed my intellectual capacity and helped me to think of exploring how literary
works in the past one hundred years have reflected and shaped our ways of thinking
about surveillance. You can check my publication (in _Cultural Logic_) on my interest
on surveillance capitalism here: https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/clogic/article/view/197800/192332
I am now at USC where I will find ways to do more research on Surveillance and literature. I will study more on Marx too.
I have a bike (bicycle) here, and it will bring me closer to people and other animals of distant origins and geographical spaces.
Although my mother never had access to education, she loves that I am getting more
and more education. Instead of any material success, she is more happy on my success
in education.
