Reports & journal articles:

Biharis in Bangladesh: Transition from Statelessness to Citizenship (Palgrave Macmillan, Feb. 2024) [ResearchGate]
- "This book deals with the citizenship status of the Biharis in Bangladesh and their ability to access rights associated with citizenship. The main argument of the book is that although legally the Biharis are citizens of Bangladesh, they still do not have access to many important rights of citizenship that can make their citizenship meaningful. Their inability to access many important citizenship rights made them de facto stateless, although they are de-jure citizens."

- Special issue showcasing "the work of some of the members of the Global PhDs on Statelessness (GPS) network and of other young researchers in the field of statelessness studies. As organisers of this Special Issue and members of the GPS network ourselves, our goal was to highlight the diverse research approaches and perspectives undertaken by the new generation of statelessness scholars, and we believe this publication accomplishes that."
