Remeen Firoz

CHL PhD Candidate in Anthropology

Remeen Firoz is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at the ANU School of Culture, History & Language (CHL). She is academically trained in Environmental and Development Studies and has two decades of work experience on natural resource management and climate change adaptation in Bangladesh. Remeen’s research focuses on Munda indigenous communities – their lives and livelihoods in Sundarban – the largest mangrove forest in the world. She is mapping their vulnerabilities and resilience in times of climate change to understand how their identities are shaped by human agencies and more than human entities such as tidal rivers, bees, tigers, fish and deities like Bonbibi (Forest Goddess) and Sing Bonga (Sun God, key figure in Adi Dharma followed by Munda).
