Animism as Environmental Justice: Indigenous Knowledge and Moral Responses to Climate Crisis in Bangladesh
This paper explores how animistic cosmology—a worldview that views rivers, forests, and mountains as sentient beings with moral authority—constitutes a form of environmental justice. Through ethnographic fieldwork conducted among the Mro and Pangkhoa communities, it examines rituals, spiritual taboos, and environmental ethics as culturally embedded responses to environmental degradation. For indigenous peoples, climate change is not just a techni…
The Meaning of Marriage to the Rohingya Refugees, and Their Survival in Bangladesh
This article offers an insight into how the ‘stateless’ Rohingya refugees try to manage their survival in their host country through interethnic marriage.

Education in Peace-building: The Case of Post-Conflict Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh

The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), located in the southeastern part of Bangladesh, hosts 11 heterogeneous indigenous groups. Over time, the region has routinely been affected by successive intruders (i.e. Mughal, British, Pakistani, and Bengali). Since the mid-1970s, it has witnessed ethnic conflict between the indigenous people and Bengali migrants. The situation intensified in the wake of a state-sponsored transmigration program (1979 onwards), …
Field experience from the multiethnic setting of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh
Conducting research in the home country brings diverse experiences to a researcher as the researcher is considered as both insider and outsider by the informants. I conducted fieldwork in the Chittagong Hill Tracts – a multiethnic setting situated in the southeastern part of Bangladesh – where I was considered both insider and outsider. In the light of such experiences, in this article I discuss the researcher's position and the level of engageme…
