- Biography/History:
- Majid Sharifi is Professor of Political Science and the Director of International Affairs Program at Eastern Washington University, USA. He is the author of Imagining Iran: The Tragedy of Subaltern Nationalism (2013). His book breaks new ground in connecting what he calls subaltern nationalism to the imperial nature of global governance. His research explores the intersection between security and violence on the one hand, and social movements on the other. As a postcolonial scholar, he has written on decolonizing humanism, an idea drawn from Frantz Fanon's writings. His current research focuses on consequences of US foreign policy in the making of the insecurity communities of South Asia and the Middle East.
