I am a PhD candidate in the Community Engagement, Social Change, and Equity program at UBC Okanagan. My research examines the politics of sound and listening among Iranian women refugees resettled in Metro Vancouver. I focus on “decolonial critical listening” and “relational sonic ethnography” methodologies to explore how narratives of belonging and alienation in public spaces interplay with subjectivity, critical listening, and memory work during the first decade of resettlement.
