Azfar Hussain (Bengali: আজফার হোসেন, pronounced [azɸaɾ ɦosɛn]) is a Bangladeshi-American theorist, critic, poet, translator, and public intellectual who writes in both Bengali and English. He is an associate professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, where he has also served as the director of the Graduate Program in Social Innovation, and is vice-president of the Global Center for Advanced Studies (GCAS) and honorary GCAS Professor of English, World Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies. He is also the Summer Distinguished Professor of English and Humanities at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB). Hussain has published, in both English and Bengali, hundreds of academic, popular, and creative pieces, including translations from non-western languages, and written on a wide range of topics from Native American poetics and politics to critiques of postmodern-poststructuralist-postcolonial theory to Marxist political economy to "third-world" literatures to globalization and imperialism to theories and practices of interdisciplinarity. He translated into Bengali the stories of Gabriel García Márquez and the poems of Stéphane Mallarmé, Vicente Aleixandre, and Roque Dalton, among others. He also translated into English the lyrics of Kabir and the poems of Faiz Ahmad Faiz. A Daily Star review of Hussain's Bengali book Dorshonakkhyan (Philosophical Narratives, 2019) desribed it as "one of the finest specimens of philosophical thought in Bangla language." Hussain is also an internationally known public speaker and a frequent subject of media interviews regarding Bangladeshi society, culture, and politics.
