From solidarity to resistance: host communities’ evolving response to the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh
Tập 6 Số 1 - 2021
AbstractBangladesh sets an admirable example of solidarity with the Rohingya
refugees from Myanmar by hosting more than a million Rohingyas despite its
resource constraints. However, there is a perceptible shift from this rather
unconditional solidarity to an anti-refugee sentiment. In evaluating the factors
that contributed to these changing dynamics, we analysed how the host
communities’ solidar...
Moving beyond informal action: sustainable energy and the humanitarian response system
Tập 6 Số 1 - 2021
AbstractEnergy and humanitarian action have long been uneasy bedfellows. In the
field, many humanitarian practitioners lack the time or remit to engage with a
complex issue such as energy, and the topic to date has received relatively
little attention from the private, development and academic sectors. This paper
hopes to provide more clarity on energy in forced displacement settings by
analysing ...
Faith in localisation? The experiences of local faith actors engaging with the international humanitarian system in South Sudan
Tập 7 Số 1 - 2022
AbstractLocalisation, as it aims to shift power in the humanitarian system, will
involve the increased inclusion of local faith actors, those national and local
faith-affiliated groups and organisations that are often first, and last,
responders in crises and have been responding in humanitarian contexts for many
years, but often in parallel to humanitarian coordination mechanisms. In primary
rese...
Politics of citizenship during the COVID-19 pandemic: what can educators do?
- 2021
AbstractAs a once in a 100 years emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted
in repercussions for the economy, the polity, and the social. Also, the ongoing
pandemic is as much a teaching moment as it to reflect on the lack of critical
citizenship education. The fault lines of the health system have become visible
in terms of infection and death rates; the fault lines of the educational system

Beyond ethical approval: fostering ethical research practices within inter-sectoral research projects involving academic and NGO sector partners
- 2019
Abstract While research and innovation collaborations between NGOs and academic
organisations can create considerable synergies with positive effects for the
humanitarian sector, the inter-sectoral nature of such collaborations can
generate challenges due to the varying mandates, objectives and ways of working
of the organisations involved. By drawing on the experiences of a 4-year project
involvi...
Impediments to localization agenda: humanitarian space in the Rohingya response in Bangladesh
- 2022
AbstractThe article spotlights the impediments of the localization agenda in the
Rohingya response in Bangladesh through the notion of humanitarian space.
The Rohingyas rely entirely on material aid and humanitarian services in the
camps, mainly stemming from international actors committed to the localization
agenda, which, however, has not been effectively implemented. Drawing on the
definition o...
Closing well: national and international humanitarian workers’ perspectives on the ethics of closing humanitarian health projects
Tập 5 Số 1 - 2020
AbstractProject closure is a core feature of humanitarian action. However, how
decisions to end projects are made, and how closure is planned and implemented,
has implications for upholding ethical commitments, and can have positive or
negative consequences for affected communities, local stakeholders, and
humanitarian organizations and their staff. To better understand the ethical
dimensions of c...
Faith-based organizations: humanitarian mission or religious missionary
Tập 5 Số 1 - 2020
AbstractThis paper analyzes Islamic FBOs’ humanitarian approaches, programs, and
challenges. Politicalized religious interpretations are also on board to
investigate their missionary aspects. I design my argument based on Michael
Barnett and Janice Grass Stein’s assumption on the impact of social
constructions on establishing sacred and secular concepts and spaces. Thus, I
study the UK-based Islam...
