Based on a series of interviews and participant observations with two cohorts of “privileged” Iranian migrant women working as doctors, dentists and academics in Britain—groups that are usually absent from studies around migration, marginality and intersectionality—the book applies narrative analysis and intersectionality to critically analyse social class in relation to gender, ethnicity, places and sense of belonging in Britain. There will be an introduction to the book by Prof. Molly Andrews Followed by a discussion between Dr Mastoureh Fathi and Prof. Nira Yuval-Davis, the editor of the Politics of Intersectionality series published by Palgrave Macmillan. The discussion will continue over wine. Dr Mastoureh Fathi finished her PhD at the University of East London. She has undertaken research in Iran and Britain on Iranian women, and has published on migration, social class, gender and education in Iran and Britain. She is currently a lecturer in Sociology at the Royal Holloway, University of London. Her current research looks at the intersection of religion, gender and parenting.
