About My Research

My research focuses on ethics of resistance in today’s colonial context. My doctoral work specifically examined the relationship between the phenomena of time, colonization, and resistances against it. 

In my public philosophical engagements I explore and focus on the troubling modes of mainstream perceptions of Iranian opposition. 

Due to the smears that ensued after my public engagements on how different modes of colonialism can persist in our activism, I became interested in examining the role that fallacies play in sustaining the logics for an unjust world order. 

I am a lecturer of Feminist Thought and Feminist Ethics at the Simone De Beauvior Institute at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Concordia University. I also teach graduate and undergraduate courses on Education and Philosophical Thought, Philosophy of/and Education, Ethics of Change in Educational Theory, Decolonial Philosophy, and Philosophy (of Education) Born of Struggle at Concordia and McGill University.
