‘As a co-learner with Shahriar during Dignity in Difference’s Safe Digital Space Research Fellowship, I learnt from his curiosity, dedication, and thoughtful approach. He brought a rare balance of intellectual rigor and empathy to his research on media literacy and digital toxicity.

He engaged deeply with complex ideas while always grounding them in practical realities. In our conversations, Shahriar asked probing questions, listened intently, and connected insights around power and their manifestations in online spaces.

I have no doubt that he will continue to make meaningful contributions and look forward to seeing the impact he will create in the future.’
