Graduate Student, Sociology I am a Graduate Student at the University of Georgia and pursuing my Doctoral Studies in Sociology. I am also enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies from the Institute for Women's Studies. I am a current recipient of the P.E.O International Peace Scholarship from the Philanthropic Educational Organization (P.E.O.) and the Graduate Teaching Assistantship Award from the Department of Sociology, University of Georgia. My research interest lies in Gender-based Violence and Feminist Research Methods. I was formerly associated with the largest Non-profit Organization of BRAC Bangladesh as the Senior Officer (Investigation) at the Sexual Harassment Redressal Committee (SHRC). I am trained in Law and hold a graduate degree in Law from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I have a sweet cat who I call 'Big Fluff' with love. I also love to travel a lot and am an out-and-out a beach girl! I am fun to hang out with if you have a quirky sense of humor, otherwise, you might get offended by my never-ending crude jokes. I am also super friendly. So, reach out to me if you need any information about the Graduate program!
