Jobayer Hossain

As a child growing up in the small village of Bagerhat in southwestern Bangladesh, water insecurity was a part of everyday life. Now, Jobayer Hossain is graduating with his PhD in environmental social sciences to help change the face of water insecurity. news.asu.edu/20250509-sun-d…

Thrilled to share that I’ve successfully defended my dissertation at Arizona State University! My research explores how social infrastructure helps manage water insecurity. I’m deeply grateful to my advisors, mentors, and collaborators who have guided me through this journey!

Had a great time presenting my research on social infrastructure in managing water insecurity at the Association of Geographers annual meeting @theAAG 2025 in Detroit! Grateful for the insightful conversations and feedback! #AAG2025 #WaterInsecurity #SocialInfrastructure

I’m thrilled to be named the University Outstanding Graduate from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences – Social Sciences at ASU! This award recognizes academic excellence and service to the college — a true honor. Thank you to everyone who supported me on this journey!

#Bangladesh has now been cut off from the world for over six hours, with a nation-scale internet shutdown in effect amid student protests. The disruption prevents communication and efforts to document human rights violations. #StarLinkforBangladesh #SaveBangladeshiStudents

Grateful to @NSF and @HorowitzFdn to support my #PhD research on aquaculture land transformations in climatically fragile #coastal areas of #India. #ClimateActionNow #FoodInsecurity #phdchat #aquaculture @GlobalLandP @GlobalLandUse @HDGC_AAG @CAPE_AAG @SpatialAag @AAG_Climate

Presented my research on community-based water management through the lens of design principles, collective action and moral economies for water at the 7th Ostrom Workshop Conference at Indianan University Bloomington. #WOW7

Getting water from a kitchen faucet is a tremendous privilege. Remember that. The #climate crisis is a water crisis. And the impacts will be global. What is happening in the global south is only the beginning. Adaptation is urgent.

Cyclone Remal hits coastal #Bangladesh last night, with wind speeds ranging from 90 to 130 km per hour, whipping tidal surges of 8 to 16 feet above normal tides. Dams burst, flooding vast regions in the coastal districts leaving millions out of food, water, electricity!

Great news! Congratulations @siianadela and wishing you all the best!

@AWutich @siianadela Congratulations Anais!
