Dr. Aziz's research interests include media, culture, and communication in migrant and marginalised communities, particularly at the crossroads of digital culture, inclusion, and citizenship. He completed PhD in Media and Communication Studies from the Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC) at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Brisbane, and his doctoral thesis explores Rohingya refugees' everyday digital media practices in negotiating identity, inclusion, and belonging. His work contributes to the emerging field of digital migration studies, digital sociology, and communication geography in understanding space/place, (im)mobility and digital media. Earlier, he completed an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters in Digital Communication (DCLead) at Salzburg University, Austria, and Vrije University Brussels, Belgium.
