  1. Dean (Acting) at Uttara University (2024-08-13 to CONTINUE )

Teaching is the only professional field I can exert myself. With this conviction, I joined Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP). Teaching language to sports-chanting students could not, however, assuage my esurience of teaching literature at University level. After the phases of upward-downward thinking of leaving a Govt. job, I finally joined Metropolitan University, a private university in Sylhet, in 2006. Since then, I have been teaching English language and literature for 18 years both in undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Moreover, I oversaw many responsible roles such as the Chair of the departments, the Editor of journals and the Proctor of the universities I worked for. Recently, I worked as the Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Chittagong Independent University. Currently, I am working as the Chairman, Department of English, Uttara University, Dhaka. To emphasize, teaching students in classrooms and remaining engaged in research activities never exhaust me. My main research focus is Adaptation Studies, that is, aesthetics and theories in the cinematic translation of literature. I completed my PhD degree in 2021 with a thesis category of “outstanding”. In the meantime, I have eleven papers published in national and international peer-reviewed journals, including Q1 and Scopus journals like Asiatic: IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature and Intellectual Discourse. The other areas of my research/teaching interest include Postcolonial Literature and Cinema, Diasporic Literature and Cinema, South Asian Literature on Screen, and World Literature.
