We are honored to present Episode 7 of the Bangladesh Feminist Oral History Project, an initiative by the Bangladesh Feminist Archives dedicated to documenting and amplifying the voices of feminists who have shaped Bangladesh’s past and are actively building its future.
In this powerful episode, we speak with Dr. Samina Luthfa, a feminist activist, sociologist, playwright, and Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Dhaka. Her work spans the intersections of labor justice, environmental movements, gender politics, and performance as a form of resistance.
Dr. Luthfa has long been engaged in social movements across Bangladesh, from labor mobilizations to climate justice struggles. She’s known not only for her academic contributions but also for her creative and community-based feminist practices, especially her use of theatre as a method of resistance and collective healing.
Topics Discussed:
- Dr. Luthfa’s feminist journey and reflections on resistance
- Labor justice, environmental politics, and rural mobilization
- Theatre as a feminist and decolonial tool of activism
- Feminist teaching, research, and grounded knowledge-making
- What sustains feminist struggle and community solidarity over time
This episode captures Dr. Luthfa’s unwavering commitment to bottom-up movement building, creative activism, and cross-sectoral feminist solidarities.
