Tehran Province, Iran
I am a PhD researcher on urban cycling, a PhD Fellow at the Urban Cycling Institute, and the Bicycle Mayor of Tehran at BYCS. My research interests lie in understanding cycling practices from an anthropological perspective, exploring issues of power, space, gender, culture, and politics. My PhD research focused on the lived experience of urban cycling, aiming to discover how cycling can phenomenologically change urban experiences. Currently, I am working on rethinking urban mobility from the humanities and social sciences perspectives, exploring the power of language, metaphors, and narratives for critical thinking and transformative change.
Our mission is to serve, teach, inspire and impact current and future urban professionals in our quest for actionable steps towards safe, inclusive, active mobility.
We are an academic community of experts and researchers from various universities and organizations committed to organizing programs, workshops, and events that promote active mobility. As part of the Tehran Transportation and Traffic Academy (TeTTA) at the Faculty of Urban Planning, University of Tehran, we strive to enhance human-centered urban mobility through collaborative efforts and innovative solutions.
