Syed Mahfuzur Rahman

S M Mahfuzur Rahman is a Lecturer in the School of General Education at Brac University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. He teaches cultural and media studies, world history, and ethics. His current research explores the points of convergence between the a priori political consciousnesses (bildungen – neither Universalist nor a politics of difference) of marginality manifested through fractal patterns in the indigenous and folk arts, and the social and multispecies justice movements. S M is also a fellow at the Center for Liberal Arts and Sciences Pedagogy (CLASP)—a project of the Bard College Institute for Writing & Thinking (IWT), which works with faculty and institutions in the Open Society University Network (OSUN) to promote student-centered teaching methods, writing-based teaching, and experiential learning.
