Israt Jahan Lipa started her professional career in academia in the year of 2018 soon after graduating in Anthropology from Comilla University, Cumilla-3506, Bangladesh. She started her academic journey with Anthropology in 2012 holding a great passion for learning and practicing Anthropology as an academic. Currently, she is on her study leave for pursuing her Doctoral Degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. Her Doctoral research is specifically focused on roadside black spots and material culture; road users perceptions and experineces of road accidents; vernacular beliefs, survival tactics, and raod carsh injuries in the context of Bangladesh. While focusing on this topic, she developed a keen interest in researching verbal narratives on Death studies and Lament analysis.
She is also interested in contemporary qualitative methodological issues in social research: use of autoethnography, collaborative and indigenous ethnography, virtual/digital ethnography, phenomenology and experinece-centered approach in contemporary research, and dynamics of authoring power as a researcher in research writing practices—though not all at the same time!
In her professional engagement, currently she is a member of American Folklore Society (AFS), and Folklore Studies Association of Canada (FSAC). She received 'Herbert and Violetta Halpert Travel Research Award' for her research paper from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2022. She also received 'Dean's Award' for her acadmeic excellency from the Faculty of Social Sciences of Comilla University in 2019. In addition to her academic interest, she loves to do abstract paintng and listening to personal experience stories.
