Biographie de la conférencière (English will follow)

Dre. Azar Masoumi est professeure associée au département de sociologie et d'anthropologie. Elle étudie les politiques raciales, genrées sexuelles, économiques et linguistiques de la protection des personnes réfugiées contrôlées par l'État (en particulier en ce qui concerne les réfugié.e.s de genre et queer) et la vie affective et quotidienne des révolutions (en particulier en ce qui concerne l'Iran). Sa recherche généalogique multiméthode sur la protection des personnes réfugiées canadiennes a été publiée par UBC Press en 2023 et a été présélectionnée par l'Association canadienne droit et société pour le prix du livre W. Wesley Pue. Azar a créé des archives d'histoire orale en ligne sur les souvenirs quotidiens de la révolution iranienne de 1979 avec Ronak Ghorbani, accessibles à l'adresse www.enghelabshod.ca. Elle termine actuellement un projet sur les services d'interprétation linguistique pour les réfugiés d'orientation sexuelle et d'identité et d'expression de genre (SOGIE) au Canada, et commence de nouveaux projets sur l'action politique des jeunes dans des conditions de désespoir, et la normalisation des résidences temporaires prolongées au lieu d'une protection permanente dans la politique d'immigration canadienne.

Dr. Azar Masoumi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. She studies the racial, gendered, sexual, economic, and linguistic politics of state-controlled refugee protection (particularly in relation to gender-based and queer refugees) and the affective and everyday life of revolutions (particularly in relation to Iran). Her multi-method, genealogical research on Canadian refugee protection was published by UBC Press in 2023 and shortlisted by the Canadian Law and Society Association for the W. Wesley Pue Book Prize. Azar has created an online Oral History archive on everyday memories of the 1979 Iranian revolution with Ronak Ghorbani, accessible at www.enghelabshod.ca. She is currently concluding a project on language interpretation services for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) refugees in Canada, and starting new projects on young people’s political action under conditions of hopelessness, and the normalization of prolonged temporary residencies in lieu of permanent protection in Canadian immigration policy.
