Nisma Elias, OLPD doctoral student in Comparative and International Development Education, has published an op/ed in the Dhaka Tribune, a mainstream national daily publication in Bangladesh.
In the article, Elias argues that the Bangladeshi community (diaspora and otherwise) should be paying attention to the events stemming from the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis:
As Bangladeshis, we may not understand the struggles faced by those who are black, but we understand what it means to be colonized, to be oppressed, to be thought of as less because of our mother tongue, or what we look like in comparison to others who are lighter-skinned.
