Edited collections play a crucial role in shaping disciplines: they set agendas, frame debates, and help define the contours of a field. Contributing to one is a significant professional milestone, and we’re thrilled to celebrate PhD candidate Saad Khan for earning this distinction.
Khan has co-authored a chapter titled “Queer Prints, Publics, and Counterpublics in Bangladesh: The Coherent, In-Between, and Ephemeral,” which will appear in the forthcoming anthology Queer Print Cultures: Resistance, Subversion, and Community, to be published by University of Toronto Press in January 2026.
This chapter is the first scholarly essay to analyze the print cultures that shape queer activism in Bangladesh, an vital contribution that expands conversations in queer studies, transnational media, and social movements. It also marks Khan’s first publication in an edited collection, underscoring the depth, rigor, and global reach of the research our PhD students bring to the field.
Khan’s work demonstrate the vital role graduate scholarship plays in advancing feminist, queer, and transnational studies across academic and public worlds.
