Bio/Research
Dr. Golam Rabbani is a transnational performer-scholar, educator, and amateur writer and has been invested in university teaching and research for more than fourteen years. He specializes in Baul literature, music, and cultural industries in Bangladesh and is a grantee of the SSHRC Doctoral Award, Erasmus Mundus Action II Scholarship, and several other research grants. He is also trained in Bengali folk and Indian classical music and performed at numerous academic and public events in South Asia and North America. Before joining the School of Creative Industries at Toronto Met, he taught at Dan School of Drama and Music, Queen’s University, and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and School of Studies in Arts and Culture, Carleton University.
Along with publishing journal articles and presenting at conferences, Dr. Rabbani is currently working on two book projects and developing creative research and musical initiatives that focus on immigrant and newcomer identities in Canada. As a community-based researcher, he examines popular culture industries and investigates the spirituality, literature and music of Bauls, the heterogeneous groups of itinerant minstrels/philosophers in Bangladesh. He was involved in experiential learning with Baul communities since his childhood. He casually works as a diversity and inclusion coach for academic and non-academic organizations helping them to implement EDII issues at workplaces. Dr. Rabbani is a first-generation immigrant in Canada and has taught and continued research in universities in Dhaka, Bangladesh, for several years. He also collaborated with various creative industries in both Bangladesh and Canada.
