I have been educated in Iran (University of Tehran), India (Jawaharlal Nehru University), South Africa (University of KwaZulu-Natal) and Germany (University of Freiburg). I worked at Humboldt University of Berlin for several years before moving to the UK. My books include: Social Movements in Iran: Environmentalism and Civil Society (Author, Routledge 2012), Understanding Southern Social Movements (Editor, Routledge 2016), Contemporary Megaprojects: Organization, Vision and Resistance in the 21st Century (Co-editor, Berghahn 2021) and Marxism, Religion and Emancipatory Politics (Co-editor, Palgrave-Macmillan 2022). I serve as a board member of the Research Committee on Social Classes and Social Movements (RC47) of the International Sociological Association (ISA). In Manchester I am the Director of Sociology Undergratuade Programme; I work with the research group Movements@Manchester; I am an affiliate of the Sustainable Consumption Institute and I am a member of the Manchester University Press Editorial Committee.
Theorethically my research is situated in debates surrounding the Northern-centric essence of sociology, and the extent to which theories, concepts and practices can travel across the North-South divide. My empirical focus is broadly on political sociology, social movements, revolutions and social justice. I have conducted research in a number of places but mostly in Iran, India and Germany. Most of my research is informed by response to contemporary world politics.
I am keen to supervise research students in the above mentioned areas.
