Biography: I come from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I grew up there and left for the UK in my adolescent years. I was on the International Baccalaureate programme at the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales. Then I went to University of Reading to read law. It was an interesting experience, but I did not really appreciate the way it was taught. Anyways, I was curious enough to pursue a masters in law and I enrolled in the LLM programme at McGill University (Canada). After I completed my LLM, I was unclear about the area of law in which I wanted to specialise. So, I worked for different law firms as law clerks and I did some freelance research work. Then I joined the RCPO (Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office) and I realised that there were lots of issues that I would like to explore further and, consequently, I enrolled in the PhD programme at LSE. |
