Amin
Moghadam
Amin Moghadam is Research Lead, Cities and Migration, at the CERC in Migration and Integration at Toronto Metropolitan University. His research explores connections between housing policies and diaspora politics with a focus on the Iranian diaspora in Toronto. He particularly looks at the role of transnational practices in the homeownership experience of immigrants, the role of intermediary actors such as real estate agents as migration brokers as well as emotional aspects of homeownership experiences of newcomers in Canada’s large urban centres.
Amin holds a PhD in Human Geography and Urban Studies from the University of Lyon II, France. His research and publications have focused on migration policy and practices, diaspora studies, circulation and regional integration in the Middle East, with focus on the Persian Gulf region (Iran and UAE).
Amin acted as an associate research scholar at the Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies at Princeton University between 2016-2020. Prior to this position, he lectured on Urban and Migration Studies at Sciences Po Paris, Aix-Marseille University and the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (Inalco). In addition to research and teaching, he took on the role of academic advisor for the Master of Public Affairs program at Sciences Po in Paris and consulted for several organizations such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi and UNHCR.
