Addressing the unique supervisory needs of humanitarian volunteers: Insights from piloting the ‘Integrated Model for Supervision’ in Bangladesh
The quality and sustainability of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services - as an essential component of any humanitarian response - requires that those delivering MHPSS services avail of regular and supportive supervision. The ‘Integrated Model for Supervision’ (IMS) provides humanitarian organisations with guidance on how to provide such supervision to their workforce. However, the unique supervisory needs of humanitarian volunt…
Urban insights into mental health: A study of depression and anxiety factors among urban adults of Bangladesh in the Covid-19 pandemic
This study investigates the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among urban adults in Bangladesh and explores the associated socio-demographic factors. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to May 2021 among the adults living in Dhaka City, Bangladesh, using a standard questionnaire designed using Google Forms and sent via a unique uniform resource locator (URL).

The objectives of the research are to identify Bangladeshi EFL teachers’ perceptions regarding the role of AI in language teaching in the way it affects academic integrity, the pedagogical issues, and how these can affect the efficacy of the existing institutional policies in English teaching profession. This study used a descriptive quantitative research design, which is based on an online questionnaire survey with 115 EFL teachers teaching in 2…
State and politics in the transitional era of globalization: Twisting and turning toward authoritarian and hybrid regimes
Beyond its discontented thesis, globalization has had a difficult time in the last few years, owing to the global financial crises of 2008–2009 when its vacuous premises and promises were widely contested for being an unfair deal. The recent rise of nationalist and populist movements across the West and the East, boosted by the COVID‐19 pandemic, now threatens its survival. However, globalization experts are largely divided in charting its future…
Climate Change, Ecological Modernization, and Disaster Management: The Coastal Embankment Project in Southwestern Bangladesh
Climate change, one of the severest environmental threats to humankind, disproportionately affects low-income, developing countries in the Global South. Having no feasible mitigation alternatives, these countries resort to adaptation efforts to address climate perturbations. Climate change adaptation (or resilience) is primarily a localized course of action that depends on individuals, social networks, economies, ecologies, political structures, …
Out of Sight, Out of Mind: The Invisible Society of Waste in Singapore
Waste is an increasingly significant environmental concern in Singapore in light of the shortening lifespan of the nation's Semakau Landfill, which is expected to reach full capacity by 2035. In order to provide a fresh perspective on the age-old problem of waste management and open different conversations regarding waste, we posit that the obscurement of waste promotes the production of waste in Singapore by desensitizing Singaporeans to their w…

Certification Regimes in the Global Agro-Food System and the Transformation of the Nature-Society Relationship: Ecological Modernization or Modernization of Ecology?
Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of environmental certification regimes in the global agro-food system—a trend characterized as an example of the ecological modernization approach—which emerged largely because of the rise of consumer sovereignty and the neoliberal push for environmental and social “quality” in food production and processing. Based on a robust analysis of global aquaculture, the article argues that the environmental cer…

Perception of Climate Change in Shrimp-Farming Communities in Bangladesh: A Critical Assessment
Local contexts as well as levels of exposure play a substantial role in defining a community's perception of climate and environmental vulnerabilities. In order to assess a community's adaptation strategies, understanding of how different groups in that community comprehend climate change is crucial. Public risk perception is important as it can induce or confine political, economic, and social actions dealing with particular hazards. Climate cha…
Towards a Decommodified Wildlife Tourism: Why Market Environmentalism Is Not Enough for Conservation
Wildlife tourism is frequently touted as a solution to the problems of increased poaching, habitat destruction, and species extinction. When wildlife is able to pay for its right to survive through attracting tourists, there is an incentive to conserve wildlife populations and the habitats that support them. However, numerous reports in recent years have drawn attention to the potential negative impacts of wildlife tourism attractions. This paper…
Islam, Politics and Secularism in Bangladesh: Contesting the Dominant Narratives
Since late 2000s, the political landscape in Bangladesh moved from democracy to an authoritarian kleptocracy, and experienced a new set of political and social narratives. This paper aims to contest some of these dominant/official narratives which have been discursively constructed and promoted by the secularist parties (including the ruling regime) and groups in Bangladesh over recent years. Examining the sociopolitical and historical facts and …
Politics and Islamic Revivalism in Bangladesh: The Role of the State and Non-State/Non-Political Actors
Bangladesh is an overwhelmingly Muslim majority country in South Asia. Islam is quite predominant in its political, social and cultural landscapes. While most classical and the contemporary sociologists predicted that religion would gradually fade in importance and cease to be significant with the advent of the industrial society, Bangladesh has instead witnessed a reemergence of the religious forces in its society. In order to address this theor…
Eco-Governmentality: A Discursive Analysis of State-NGOs-Youth Relations in Singapore
This article seeks to address the gap in representing micro-level civil society voices and contribute to literature on state-society relations in Singapore’s environmental movement. Given the present constraints of state-NGO communication and cooperation, the state and NGOs negotiate the restrictions by grooming youths as agents of change. Through in-depth interviews, it explores how environmentalism is represented differently through various dis…

Islam and Democracy: Conflicts and Congruence
Is authoritarianism intrinsic to Islam? Is Islam incompatible with democracy? These questions are frequently debated in the context of the study of the relationship between the Western and Islamic civilization. The debate has gained momentum since the last decade of the twentieth century, especially after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the subsequent transition of socialist states in Eastern Europe and other authoritarian states in A…
Community Capitals as Community Resilience to Climate Change: Conceptual Connections
In the last few decades, disaster risk reduction programs and climate initiatives across the globe have focused largely on the intimate connections between vulnerability, recovery, adaptation, and coping mechanisms. Recent focus, however, is increasingly paid to community resilience. Community, placed at the intersection between the household and national levels of social organization, is crucial in addressing economic, social, or environmental d…
When “Nature” Strikes: A Sociology of Climate Change and Disaster Vulnerabilities in Asia
Home to 60 percent of the world's population, Asia accounts for 85 percent of those killed and affected globally by disaster events in 2011. Using an integrated sociological framework comprised of the pressure and release (PAR) model and the double-risk society hypothesis, and drawing on data obtained from the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT), PreventionWeb, and the IPCC special report on extreme events, this article offers a sociological under…
State, religion, and environmentalism: Fostering social cohesion and environmental protection in Singapore
Religions are taking on an increasingly influential role in driving the environmental movement and shaping the public policy in the world. However, little research has been done in Singapore to determine the extent to which religious environmental concerns affect state–religion relations despite the nation-state being home to a multitude of traditions. Using data from a survey that utilizes quota sampling, this study addresses this gap in two way…
Old Philosophy, New Movement: The Rise of the Islamic Ecological Paradigm in the Discourse of Environmentalism
Contesting the U.S.-centric bias of modern environmentalism, this essay uncovers an “old“ paradigm of environmentalism found in the medieval Islamic tradition, the Islamic Ecological Paradigm (IEP)—which, in many respects, is tantamount to many ideologies of modern environmentalism. According to IEP, human beings are a part of, and not above, nature, and have the responsibility to preserve nature. Many paradigms of modern environmentalism have la…
Trampling Democracy: Islamism, Violent Secularism, and Human Rights Violations in Bangladesh
This study highlights various totalitarian and undemocratic practices in which Bangladesh's current Awami League-led coalition regime engages. It shows that since its inception in early 2009, the regime has tried to mobilize and manipulate public support from within through—among other means—creating the discourse of "war crimes" and to obtain international support through the discourse of "Islamism" and terrorism. Although "a secular plan" to co…
Minority Islam” in Muslim Majority Bangladesh: The Violent Road to a New Brand of Secularism
More than 85% of Bangladesh's 150 million people are Muslims. Bangladesh earns its title as "the third largest Muslim country of the world" following Indonesia and Pakistan because of its enormous size of Muslim population. Their religion, Islam, is however becoming a "minority" day by day. While Muslims in the West—in spite of being a minority—are enjoying their basic religious freedom, this basic right is increasingly being denied to the Muslim…
From Sea to Shrimp Processing Factories in Bangladesh: Gender and Employment at the Bottom of a Global Commodity Chain
Shrimp aquaculture in Bangladesh linking the European Union, the USA, and Japan exhibits several characteristics of a buyer-driven global commodity chain (GCC). The study shows that, along with the effects of local conditions, buyers’ pressures transmitted through the GCC affect gender and employment relations in the lower segments of the chain. It has been found that the feminisation of the workforce in aquaculture is accompanied by the marginal…
In Search of “White Gold”: Environmental and Agrarian Changes in Rural Bangladesh
Commercial shrimp in Bangladesh is locally known as “white gold” because of its high transnational value. Historically, farmers have confined shrimp culture to ocean coastlines because shrimp require large volumes of saltwater to reproduce and mature. Recent developments in Bangladesh suggest, however, that the once purely coastal nature of this activity could soon be a thing of the past. Many Bangladeshi rice farmers are adopting low-salinity cu…

Delivery complications and healthcare-seeking behaviour: The Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey, 1999-2000
Maternal health services have a potentially critical role in the improvement of reproductive health. The use of health services is related to the availability, quality and cost of the services, as well as to social structure, health beliefs and the personal characteristics of the users. The present paper examined the factors that influence the use of maternal health services for some selected pregnancy-related complications (e.g. prolonged labour…

Utilisation of postnatal care in Bangladesh: Evidence from a longitudinal study
Utilisation of health services is a complex behavioural phenomenon. Empirical studies of preventive and curative services in Bangladesh have often showed that the use of health services is related to the availability, quality and cost of services, as well as to social structure, health beliefs and personal characteristics of the users. The present paper attempts to examine factors associated with the utilisation of healthcare services during the …

Muslims in the Capitalist Discourse: September 11 and its Aftermath
A careful reading and examination of capitalism adumbrates the fact that capitalism expands by constantly revolutionizing its mode of production, and discursively creating and recreating different domains of thought, as without these, capitalism would die. Capitalism discursively created the Third World and thereby deployed a regime of control and power to rule over it. ‘Muslims’ became a new domain of thought and hence a new problematization in …

Fertility Transition in Bangladesh: Understanding the Role of the Proximate Determinants
Bangladesh has been passing through a crucial phase of fertility transition. The level of fertility declined dramatically during the early 1990s without any remarkable improvement in socioeconomic and health status, and then remained constant at a high level of 3·3, despite the increased use of contraception. Such fertility transition can be traced to variations in one or more of the proximate or direct determinants of fertility. This paper criti…
