Research Interests
I am interested in exploring the politics of domination and resistance, with reference to the case study of modern Iran. My work focusses on three main strands: (1) ideas of economic independence; (2) the theory and practice of anti-imperialism; and (3) state-society relations and state resilience. My next research project will bring together these three strands within an interdisciplinary analysis of the intellectual output of Iranian women.
