Previously, she was a researcher at the ERC-funded Takhayyul project at the Institute for Global Prosperity. Fatemeh’s research focuses on political imagination as a collective constellation shaped by theological, philosophical, and historical aspirations and traditions. Focusing on Islam and contemporary Iran, she examines political constellations that allow individuals and groups to articulate their aspirations by reshaping and redefining collective fantasies.
