We are excited to present Episode 10 of the Bangladesh Feminist Oral History Project, an initiative by the Bangladesh Feminist Archives committed to documenting and amplifying the voices of Bangladeshi feminists across generations.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Nasrin Siraj Annie, a socio-cultural anthropologist, feminist researcher, and activist whose work explores the intersections of identity, nationalism, gender, and social movements in the borderlands of Bangladesh.
Nasrin is an Assistant Professor at BRAC University and completed her PhD at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where her research focused on migration, mobility, and disconnection in the southeastern Bengal borderlands. Her work spans academic research, public scholarship, and activism, and she regularly contributes to national movements, protests, and conversations around justice and resistance.
She is also a documentary filmmaker whose works, including “Lukochuri” and “Ha(n)ra Koyla Khuni Chaina,” use storytelling and film to examine sexuality, environmental justice, and collective protest.
Topics Discussed:
-Nasrin’s early feminist and political consciousness
-Researching state violence, migration, and marginality in the borderlands
-Reflections from the Phulbari movement and environmental resistance
-Using film as feminist method and political intervention
-The importance of public scholarship and documenting feminist stories
-Building hope, memory, and solidarity across generations
