About

Currently, I am working as an Associate Professor in BCS (General Education) Cadre in the Department of Sociology, Kushtia Government College, Bangladesh. Before joining the current profession, I worked as a lecturer in sociology at care research institute and a graduate college of Bangladesh. Also, I worked as an associate researcher in the World Bank funded research project. during this project I tried to gain some acquaintance about several aspects of social research. Besides, there is interest in new areas of research, particularly interested in tribal studies.
