He was married to <a href=\"https:\/\/content.time.com\/time\/specials\/packages\/article\/0,28804,1841778_1841781_1841805,00.html\">Annie Leonard<\/a>, a renowned American environmentalist and the acclaimed author of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.storyofstuff.org\/\">The Story of Stuff<\/a>\u201d. Together they have a daughter Dewi (24), an activist legal researcher who specializes in prisoners\u2019 rights in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2005, Zarni relocated to the United Kingdom as a visiting research fellow in the Department of International Development at Oxford University, in hopes of resuming his academic career.&nbsp; He subsequently worked as an associate professor of Asian Studies at the Universiti Brunei Darussalem, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universityworldnews.com\/post.php?story=20130118143248468\">resigned over censorship<\/a> of his public engagement on the Burmese genocide of Rohingya.&nbsp; Post-resignation, he also declined an offer of a Scholars-at-risk fellowship at the London School of Economics in 2014 to do anti-genocide activism full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He re-married a fellow British scholar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/people\/person\/Natalie-Brinham-9ce8b1bf-a292-4559-9127-c489ab7a6ef2\/\">Dr Natalie Brinham<\/a>, a senior research associate with the Migration Mobilities Bristol, a specialist research institute at the University of Bristol. Together, they co-authored a groundbreaking 3-year study \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.law.uw.edu\/wilj\/vol23\/iss3\/8\/\">The Slow-Burning Genocide of Myanmar\u2019s Rohingya<\/a>\u201d
