Nabila Binte Afser Anika

 

I am Nabila Binte Afser Anika, a Writer and Researcher with an academic foundation in English and Humanities. I completed both my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB), where I specialized in Literature and Cultural Studies. Through this academic journey, I developed a nuanced understanding of how literature and cinema operate not only as artistic expressions but also as cultural texts that reflect, question, and reshape societal values.

My research interests focus on the interplay between textual and visual narratives, with particular attention to symbolic patterns and narrative structures that shape collective consciousness. I am deeply interested in how stories function as tools for identity construction and cultural negotiation across diverse social contexts. My undergraduate thesis examined Yann Martel’s Life of Pi and Selim Al Deen’s Sharnoboal as Bildungsroman narratives, highlighting themes of personal transformation, displacement, and the search for belonging.

I have actively participated in several academic conferences, including the International Conference on Magic and Literature and the Marx’s Bicentenary Conference on Language, Literature, Culture, and Politics, both hosted by ULAB. These platforms enriched my engagement with interdisciplinary scholarship and collaborative academic dialogue.

Beyond formal academia, I contributed as part of the editorial team for Remembering Scientist Maqsudul Alam, a commemorative publication honoring one of Bangladesh’s most distinguished scientific figures. I have also been involved in literary outreach and alternative education initiatives, reflecting my commitment to making scholarly knowledge more accessible through creative and inclusive formats. Through writing and research, I continue to explore storytelling as a transformative medium for reflection, cultural insight, and critical dialogue.
