I am a Professor of ANU, Australia at Resource, Environment and Development (RE&D) Program. My research is on community livelihoods and natural resource management, with focus on resource-dependent communities, the conflicts arising out of contested rights, and the struggles of local communities to reclaim these rights. My research is primarily focused on South Asia, but I have also led research projects in Indonesia, Lao PDR and Mongolia. My research is informed by feminist scholar-activist research methodologie, and research has contributed to broadening the understanding of gender in, and the social impacts of, large-scale, capitalised extractive industries, leading to efforts to engender the extractive industries.
Some of my research work has been useful to global policy agencies. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), when it established the International Resource Panel, invited me to join the Extractives and Resource Governance group. ‘Mineral Resource Governance in the 21st Century’, the full report, can be found here. I have also advised other UN agencies such as the UNDP. Currently, I am working with UN-WOMEN as a member of its ‘Core Advisory Group’ to develop a Post-COVID-19 ‘Feminist Plan’. Of other global agencies, the World Bank has sought my advice on gender challenges in extractive industries. Within Australia, the Australian Council for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT) have engaged me. My international policy advocacy work on gender and water was an elected member of the Steering Committee of Gender & Water Alliance (GWA).

I am the Director of the Centre for Development Economics and Sustainability (CDES) and Professor at the Department of Economics at Monash University. At present, in partnership with NGOs, researchers and governments in developing countries I am conducting rapid actionable research to communicate the research findings to policy makers. In addition to providing awareness on COVID-19 and related health issues, I am conducting research on households and firms to quickly assess the lives and livelihoods of the poor and the vulnerable communicates in developing countries.
My research interests are primarily in the areas of Development Economics and Demography. My recent research focuses on primary and early childhood education; technology adoption using social networks; gender, microfinance and microenterprise development; long-term effects of shocks and risk-sharing mechanisms of households; and health of disadvantaged communities. My research works span in a number of countries including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, China, Cambodia, Uganda, and Tanzania. I have published in leading journals including Economic Journal, European Economic review, Journal of Development Economics, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Journal of Banking and Finance, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, and Demography.
My work is also supported by international grants such as Australian Research council (ARC), UK Research Council (ESRC), DFID, AusAID (DFAT), International Growth Centre (IGC), European Commission and World Bank.

I have also worked as a consultant for the World Bank, European Union, ADB, and UNDP.
I have worked closely with leading NGOs, government, and leading national and international development agencies. I grew up in a rural village in Bangladesh. My work involves extensive fieldwork to try understand the context and data used for my research. I am particularly interested in issues that can generate public policy interest. I am passionate about making changes in the lives of the poor people in developing countries through my research, collaboration and external engagement with NGOs, government, policymakers and development practitioners around the world.
