📖 low-resource NLP & feminist discourse

My research centres on developing interpretable models for abusive language detection in Bangla, with a strong emphasis on gender‑based harassment. I am actively involved in dataset creation, feature engineering, and community‐aware AI. I also explore multimodal analysis and inclusive computing pedagogies.
