Mustahid Husain

University of Toronto, Canada

Research Interests/ Ongoing projects:
Dr. Husain's research intersects digital, feminist, and socio-cultural anthropology in broad thematic areas of global political economy, masculinity and mental health, and social justice and governance, seeking to create bridges among research and practice. His lived and professional experiences in the Global South function as the precursors for his community-led, participant-driven, and visual participatory action research interests.

Dr. Husain’s SSHRC funded ongoing research examines how Muslim subjects’ masculinities are shaped by the inter-generational, inter-male dominance in a diasporic context and the ways in which these emergent masculinities reshape mental health.

Recent Publications/Achievements:
Dr. Husain's work features in a range of journal articles, book chapters and edited volumes as well as received press coverage in The Times Higher Education.

Dr. Husain’s latest monograph Development, Neoliberalism, and Islamism in South Asia: The Case of Bangladesh (Macmillan 2022) offers a unique perspective on neoliberal policies leading to social change in the Bangladeshi state by contributing to the othering, impacting industries such as migration and development, and shaping the daily lives of the people.
