Hasan Mahmud さん
Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University in Qatar
I am deeply grateful to Hosei University for granting me the HF fellowship in 2013. This fellowship supported my dissertation fieldwork in Tokyo between 2013 and 2014. I conducted ethnographic fieldwork among Bangladeshi migrants, exploring why they sent remittances to home. I was given an office space with up-to-date facilities at the Ichigaya campus, which was centrally located in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The housing near Fujimidai station was an excellent facility, offering me the much-needed residence without going through any troubles in finding a home and managing utilities. I used my Ichigaya campus office to read and write my field notes. I have written a book to be published next year in which two chapters are based on my fieldwork in Tokyo. The HF fellowship was instrumental in providing me with financial support and a home to stay and conduct my research.
I have been working as an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University in Qatar. I received his PhD in sociology from the University of California, Los Angeles. My most recent publications outline a sociology of migrant remittance. My articles appeared in Current Sociology, Sociological Perspectives, International Migration, International Social Science Journal, and Migration and Development journal. I coedited a volume titled Beyond Economic Migration: Social, Historical, and Political Factors in US Immigration (2023) published by NYU press. I teach sociological theories, globalization, sociology of development, and international migration.
