Salam everyone,
My name is Sahar Sadeghi, and I am currently a doctoral student at Temple University’s sociology department. I am currently conducting my PhD Research on Iranians in the United States and Germany and looking for Iranians in southern California to interview. I am looking for Iranians who were born in Iran and have been living here for at least 7 years, and also Iranians who were born in the U.S.
In general, my research examines the experiences of Iranians while living in the United States, this includes their daily experiences at work or school, their adjustments to American culture, relationships with other Iranians and other immigrants, experiences with discrimination, and so forth. The interviews will take approximately 1 hour and they are anonymous. No personal information of yours will be published or recorded, no ones’ real names will be used, I have IRB (internal review board) permission.
I am currently staying with family in Santa Monica, CA while conducting this research, and would greatly appreciate the support of the iranian community so that I can collect all my interviews. If you are interested in talking to me, or know of anyone that may be interested, please contact me at ssadeghi@temple.edu. Also, you can follow the following link to get further information about me and my research http://www.temple.edu/sociology/sadeghi/index.htm
Thank you for your time and support
Sahar Sadeghi
