Chair
Alexa Robertson (IMS)

At this seminar, Pooya Ghoddousi will talk about his research on transnational Iranians and their exchange of political affects in situations of copresence and non-copresence, as a means of creating consistency in assemblages of collective action. Nomad theor, Deleuze, Guattari and Ibn Khaldun form the theoretical underpinnings and netnography the method to grasp these non-copresent dynamics mediated by ICTs like SMS, WhatsApp, Skype, Email, Facebook and Twitter.

Pooya is an LSE Fellow in Human Geography in the Department of Geography and Environment. He joined an environmental NGO in Iran to live and work with pastoral nomads, and then carried the lessons into his participatory research and activism in London. His master's and PhD theses (at LSE and UCL respectively) explored the nomadic tendencies in the transnational assemblages of identity, belonging and collective action among Iranians in London. He has since held an Honorary Fellowship and an ESRC Post-doctoratal Research Fellowship at Queen Mary University of London, and a Teaching Fellowship at University College London.
