About me
I'm Sharmin Afrose, a graduate student at the University of Manitoba's Department of Anthropology. From Jahangirnagar University in Bangladesh, I obtained my Bachelor's and First Master's degrees in Anthropology. I have around 9 years of professional experience working with the United Nations and international NGOs specializing on gender, women's empowerment, protection, and disability inclusion in development programme and humanitarian response.
I started my career as a researcher at ICDDR,B Gender, Equity and Rights Division. I then worked with International Organization for Migration (IOM) on the Rohingya Response Programme, UNICEF and International Rescue Committee (IRC). The World Food Programme's (WFP) Protection, Gender, and Inclusion Department was where I most recently worked.
I've co-authored two peer-reviewed publications in international journals.
About my research
Food is an important indicator of social differentiation, boundaries between social groups, and power inequality because food is a basic element of material culture and social life. Food and foodways are important tools that can help to understand the specific cultural context, historical flows, and global connections for displaced populations. There are few references and scholarly works that document and represent the cultural perspectives, perception of food, cultural practices related to eating for these groups.
My proposed research examining the implications of culturally informed food choices and dietary restrictions for displaced women in South Asia, particularly the Rohingya people in Bangladesh.
