I am a postdoc-researcher in the programme group Transnational Configurations, Conflict and Governance. My research interests include media and political transformations, digital media activism, and the politics of internet governance, with a particular focus on Iran and the Middle East.
I obtained my PhD in Media and Communication Studies from the University of Erfurt (Germany) with a dissertation on the role of the internet in Iran’s process of political change. In my thesis I analysed the digital media usages of the Iranian reform movement and the political elite in the years up to 2010. In 2013, my dissertation was nominated for the annual German dissertation award (Deutscher Studienpreis) granted by the Körber foundation. I have a Master’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the Université de Provence (France) and I have lived and worked for several years in Iran and Pakistan.
