UNESCO WHIPIC Fellow 2025 Assistant Professor of Architecture, Sonargaon University

Imamur's research focuses on critical heritage studies and community-centered documentation. A Commonwealth Scholar with expertise in heritage interpretation and digital documentation, he developed the SNIP methodology to address the 'Ubiquitous Trigger Paradox', the idea that digital access to heritage does not necessarily give communities agency over their own history.

Imamur brings this same commitment to institutional spaces as coordinating the Early Career Researchers Network of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies, where he works to create room for emerging voices in a field still shaped by established gatekeepers. At Sonargaon University, he leads the International Centre for Development and Environmental Studies (ICDES). Imamur edits two open-access, peer-reviewed journals, the Journal of the Built Environment in the Global South (JBEGS) and South Asian Cultural Studies (SACS), both grounded in the belief that rigorous scholarship from the Global South deserves visible, accessible platforms of its own.
