Abdullah AL MAMUN, PhD
Research Interest: Abdullah Al Mamun, PhD, is Associate Professor of Folklore and Social Development Studies at the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. He has held academic appointments at Western Sydney University, the University of Wollongong, and the University of Technology Sydney. He earned his PhD in Social Science in Human Geography, Climate Economics, Social Equity, and Urban Sustainability from Western Sydney University, Australia, along with prior research degrees in Master of Arts in Folklore (and Social Development) Studies (the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh) and Master of Economics in Economic Development and Policy (Kobe University, Japan). His PhD focuses on the intersections of economic geography, climate economics, climate resilience, and urban sustainability, with particular attention to how rapid urbanization and climate-induced stresses—such as extreme heatwaves and drought—affect ecosystems, heritage-based economies, and vulnerable communities in the Global South. Using mixed methods—including geospatial, econometric, qualitative, and participatory approaches—he develops ecocentric EbA policies and socioecological economic frameworks to advance inclusive climate solutions, reduce inequality in climate actions, restore ecosystem services, revitalize heritage economies, and sustainable urban futures. His work integrates a broad range of disciplines, including Social Design, Social Equity, Social Impact, Social and Community Planning, Urban Planning and Sustainability, Human Geography, Economic and Urban Geography, Climate Change, Heritage Economics, Climate Economics, Health and Urban Economics, Community Welfare and Resilience, Political Economy, Planetary Health, the Circular Economy, and Net-Zero Futures. With over 17 years of teaching and research experience, he has published in Science of the Total Environment, the Chinese Journal of Urban and Environmental Studies, and Routledge, and serves as Associate Editor of the International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management. Beyond academia, he has led applied research on sustainable fashion, low-carbon construction, renewable energy microgrids, and climate resilience, and is an elected leader within the American Association of Geographers. His work is dedicated to advancing inclusive, nature-positive, and net-zero futures for disadvantaged communities worldwide. |
