Project: Voice of Palong: Digital Storytelling and Peacebuilding Among Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh
Dr. Hussain’s research explores how digital storytelling can combat misinformation and foster peacebuilding among Rohingya refugees and marginalized host communities in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Through action research, this study examines the Voice of Palong project, a grassroots initiative that amplifies refugee and host community narratives to counter prejudice, strengthen social cohesion, and promote positive dialogue in the face of one of the world’s largest refugee crises.
