PREVIOUS POSITIONS
Research Fellow (Wellcome Trust) at the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, University of Glasgow: March 2015 – I had a leading role in the delivery of a Wellcome Trust funded project titled ‘Global Interventions at the End of Life’. The project aims to compare different Global Interventions at the End of Life to generate new theoretical propositions and empirical knowledge that will lead to more sustainable and appropriate end-of-life interventions across cultures and settings.
Principal Investigator (PI): Of a research projects under ESRC Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF): Titled ‘Networks for research on death, dying and end of life care among Syrian refugees in Lebanon’, partnering with American University of Beirut, Lebanon and St. Joseph
2
University, Lebanon. This network aims to conduct interdisciplinary research on the death and dying of refugees using perspectives from anthropology, public health and art. Senior Research Associate: Institute of Health and Society, Newcastle University, UK (2009- 2015). I coordinated work packages for the following two EU FP7 funded multi-country research projects:
MEDCHAMPS: ‘Mediterranean studies of cardiovascular disease and hyperglycaemia:
Analytical modelling of population socio-economic transitions’
(http://research.ncl.ac.uk/medchamp/)). This project involved four Mediterranean countries, namely Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and Palestine. I was responsible for designing and coordinating a study that included comparative analysis of health policies and the ethnographic exploration of people’s health seeking behaviour in relation to NCDs in these countries.
RESCAP-MED: ‘NCDs and their social determinants in Mediterranean countries: Building sustainable research capacity for effective policy intervention’
(http://research.ncl.ac.uk/rescap-med/). The main purpose of this project was to enhance the research landscape in Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries by strengthening capacity in a set of disciplines. This project involved partners from nine countries including the UK, Ireland, Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. In particularly I was responsible for capacity development in medical anthropology in the partner countries.
Principal Investigator (PI): Coordinated a Medical Humanities project (2013-2014) in Bangladesh and Nepal funded by the British Academy. The project studied the political history of family planning in Bangladesh and assessed the research and education on Medical Humanities in Nepal.
Associate Professor and MPH Programme Coordinator: Led an ‘International Masters in Public Health’ course (http://sph.bracu.ac.bd) at the School of Global Health, BRAC University, Bangladesh (2004-2009)
Senior Research Fellow: at the Research and Evaluation division, BRAC (1995-2004), an international non-government development organization based in Bangladesh (www.brac.net), as well as Senior Medical Officer on the community-based Health and Nutrition Program, BRAC (1990 -1994).

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Global Health
I am currently teaching both in the Masters in Global Health and Masters in Public Health at Brighton Sussex Medical School, University of Sussex. So far I have taught session on Culture and Global Health, Gloal End of life care
I have taught both in the ‘Global Health’ course in the Institute of Health and Wellbeing, as well as the ‘Global challenges at the end of life’ course in the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, at the University of Glasgow. I co-convened the latter course in 2015; the aim of the course is to foster a critical understanding of the global significance of death, dying and bereavement and to examine how the provision of care at the end of life is subject to shifting social, cultural and policy influences – thereby developing skills in global policy analysis and evidence synthesis.
At the University of Glasgow, I have developed an open learning course on ‘Global trends in Death and Dying’. (http://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=2548)
While working with Newcastle University I have led the module titled ‘Introduction to Global Health’ as part of the ‘MSc in Public Health and Health Service Research’ course (2011-2014). I developed the module and introduced it at Newcastle University for the first time.
I also taught the module on ‘Community Health’ to the undergraduate students of the Medical School at Newcastle University (2010-2015).
Medical Anthropology and Ethnographic Research Methods
In the RESCAP-MED project mentioned earlier, I was responsible for developing capacity in Ethnographic Research Methods and Medical Anthropology and Global Health within the partner countries Tunisia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine through organizing workshops and personal mentoring. I also taught ‘Further Qualitative Research Methods’ for the ‘MSc in Public Health and Health Service Research’ course at Newcastle University (2010-2014).
While working as an Associate Professor at BRAC University, Bangladesh I led the modules on
‘Medical Anthropology and Global Health’ and ‘Ethnographic Research Methods’ for the
‘International Master’s in Public Health (MPH)’ course (2004-2009).
