About Ahsan Ullah

AKM Ahsan Ullah is Professor of Geography, Environment and Development at the University of Brunei Darussalam (UBD). He has an extensive research portfolio and has worked with prestigious institutions such as the City University of Hong Kong, IPH at the University of Ottawa, McMaster University, Saint Mary's University, Dalhousie University in Canada, the American University in Cairo (AUC), Osnabruck University, Germany, and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand. His research areas include migration and mobilities, intercultural encounters and development, with a geographic focus on the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Middle East, and theoretical focus on globalization and neoliberalism, development and human rights, transnationalism, gender, intersectionality and the everyday life. As a researcher, practitioner and professor specialising in migration, refugees and development, I have dedicated my career to understanding and addressing the multiple challenges faced by displaced people. With my academic background, I have contributed insights to the field while actively engaging in practical efforts to improve the lives of those affected by migration. As I have expanded my area of expertise to include international relations, security and diplomacy, I am motivated to bridge divides and promote cooperation on a global scale. My perspective, informed by my background, allows me to recognise the intersections of migration dynamics, security concerns and diplomatic relations, with the goal of contributing meaningfully to the discourse and action that shapes our interconnected world. https://fass.ubd.edu.bn/staff/profiles/ullah.html
