This week we are pleased to share our mics with the brilliant Azadeh Akbari. In this episode she talks about her desire for a free global internet, especially in relation to Iran's morality police, and their policing of women.About Azadeh:
My name is Azadeh Akbari, and I am Assistant Professor in Public Administration&Digital Transformation at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. I studied sociology (BA) and journalism in Iran and gender research (MSc) at the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. I obtained my PhD in human geography from the University of Heidelberg. I then joined the University of Münster as a postdoctoral research associate in political geography. I have been a journalist for many years and worked as a communication manager and community outreach specialist at the UNHCR, UNICEF, and the British Council. I am a professional amateur in lindy-hop dance, documentary filmmaking, and cooking. I enjoy writing and reading a lot (obviously!) and combine all my skills and passions in being a digital editor for the journals Surveillance&Society and Territory, Politics, Governance. I have founded Surveillance in the Global South Research Network to expand the scope of surveillance studies to include non-Western discourses and practices and create a place for exchange, collaboration, and activism against the undemocratic use of surveillance technologies.
