Murshid publishes opinion piece in The Daily Star

Nadine Shaanta Murshid, associate professor and associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion, wrote an op-ed for The Daily Star in Bangladesh about a legal notice sent to social media actor Hero Alom by the detective branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, regarding “cyber allegations” made against him.

“In an era wherein anyone can produce content, where the markets decide what is good and what is not, as demonstrated by their monetary and click commitments, what does it mean to have the police come down on a single content producer simply because it grates on hegemonic middle-class sensibilities?” Murshid wrote.
