Nursyazwani's dissertation research is situated at the anthropological interfaces of sovereignty, migration and religion, to examine the world-making practices among displaced Rohingya individuals and communities on the peripheries of ummah, the global Muslim community. Through ethnographic research with Rohingya refugees in Malaysia, resettled Rohingya in Chicago, and Rohingya online communities, her comparative study traces inter-scalar modes of Rohingya world-making across different political, embodied, transnational, and spiritual domains. She has been working with Rohingya refugees in Malaysia since 2017, resettled Rohingya refugees in Chicago since 2021, and has undertaken online ethnography of Rohingya discourses on digital platforms since 2020. She received her M.Soc.Sci. from the Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore, where her research focused on the co-construction of refugee legibility among Rohingya in Malaysia. Previously, she was a Research Associate at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore and the Research Coordinator at Advocates for Refugees-Singapore.
