Stakeholder politics and just sustainability in TOD-Led redevelopment
In densely populated megacities of the global south, rapid urbanization and limited land availability pose significant challenges to socially just and environmentally resilient redevelopment. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is often promoted as a compact, mixed-use alternative to car-oriented sprawl, yet its implementation unfolds through contested stakeholder politics that shape who bears costs and who captures benefits over time. This study …
Interdisciplinary Approaches to Humanism
In this article, we provide readers with a brief history of the philosophy, origin, and institutionalization of four seemingly-distinct disciplines (Anthropology, Psychology, Mathematics, and Medicine) to illustrate the undercurrents of humanistic paradigms that guide each. In delineating these undercurrents, and in reflecting on their histories with the philosophy of humanism, we aim to show readers that we collectively share a legacy of discipl…

A greater understanding of patients' interests, preferences, behavioral motivations, and perceived barriers around physical activity is needed to …

Muslim American Double Consciousness
This article engages in a theoretical discussion and application of Du Boisian double consciousness to understand the formation of the Muslim American self. Du Boisian double consciousness, and its three elements (the Veil, Twoness, and Second Sight) are used to understand phenomenological processes of Muslim American self-formation as being situated within and conditioned by structural contexts of racialization. By drawing on critical scholarshi…
Participatory Democracy or State-Induced Violence? Resettling the Displaced People of Hatirjheel in Dhaka
This article discusses the trajectory of project implementation in the development of the Hatirjheel lake area in Dhaka, which involved forced relocation and socio-economic deprivation for most project-affected people. It raises questions over the extent to which such processes need to be seen as state-induced violations of basic justice, asking whether more justice-focused management of such projects is becoming an unrealistic expectation in an …

Orientalist discourses have largely shaped how Muslim women have come to be represented in western visual media as oppressed, subjugated or foreign. However, with the advent of social media platforms, Muslim women are utilizing social media spaces to rearticulate the controlling images promulgated through orientalist narratives. This article examines the complex relationship visual media shares with Muslim women and demonstrates that the lens of …

Urban fire occurrences in the Dhaka Metropolitan Area
Mosque Architecture in Bangladesh
Bangladesh possesses a rich early heritage involving two great religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. These two beliefs, with their political patronization, developed an architectural vocabulary expressing their spiritual desire and aspiration. Later, when Muslims invaded India, they brought a different architectural approach, evident in their secular and religious structures all over the Indian subcontinent. Muslims built mosques with the use of impo…
