Sayeed Ferdous has been teaching Anthropology at Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh, since 1995 after he graduated from there. Later, he completed a second master's from the Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands, followed by a Ph.D. in History from Lancaster University, UK. Sayeed loves to work in the blurred zone of the disciplines of History and Anthropology. His areas of interest include historiography, memory/forgetting, subaltern, postcolonial nation, nation-state, and nationalism. Sayeed's Ph.D. research is focused on the East Bengal/Pakistan episode of the 1947 Partition and its prolonged aftermath in Bangladesh. Write-ups from his research will appear as book chapters in two forthcoming anthologies, along with the published ones in local and international journals. Recently, Sayeed has jointly completed a research project on the Partition migrants to Dhaka, in partnership with Goethe Institute, Bangladesh, titled 'Longing and Belonging: 1947 Partition Narratives.'
