Dr. Parin Dossa, Professor of Anthropology and Associate member in Women’s Studies received her education on three continents: Africa Europe and North America. Her long-standing interest on displacement and critical feminist ethnography has led her to focus on the interface between social inequality, health and gender. Based on her research on social suffering and narratives of trauma, Dr. Dossa explores the differential effects of institutional policies on the lived realities of Muslim women in the Diaspora. She grounds her analysis in methodologies that capture the reconstitution of lives on the margins of society. This process questions the conceptualization of the local and the everyday as discrete from the centralized polity, thus presenting the alternative view of margins as a site for the making of a just world.
