The series was announced at a session of the Master’s program on Political Science by Professor Rashida Khanam, founder of the new academic institution for the promotion of a killing-free Bangladesh in a nonkilling world. The event was also a tribute to Prof. Glenn Paige with the participation of  the Dean of Social Sciences, Prof. Dr. Fariduddin, the Chairman of the Department of Political Science, Prof. Dr. Yeahia Akhter as well as Prof. Dr. Bhuiya Monowar Kabir and Prof. Dr. Mustafizur Rahman Siddique, both from the Department of Political Science.
