Fateme is a doctoral candidate at the department of sociology, University of Calgary. Her undergrad was in biomedical engineering. However, her interests and the situation she was living in her home country made her interested in social sciences. In pursuit of understanding the complexity of social phenomena in more depth, she decided to continue her studies in social sciences and received her master's degree in sociology from University of Tehran, Iran.
While she was interested in political sociology and sociology of religion and how systems of oppression operated in different scales, her immigration to Canada made her more conscientious about colonialism as well as the difficulties immigrants face in their new countries.
Her field of research is now on the intersection of ethnic and racial and gender inequalities and how the immigration status and the historical and national factors of the host society affect the immigrants coming from Muslim countries.
