Dr. Shokoufeh Sakhi is currently a member of the Pathologies of Solitude research network, a project hosted at Queen Mary University, London. She has a doctorate in political science from York University. Her dissertation, Ethics and the Subject of Resistance: Levinas, Foucault and Marx, is focused on the distinction between ‘ethical’ and ‘survival’ objectives, a distinction through which resistance and capitulation may be elucidated. She acted as Executive Committee Director (2013-2014) of the Iran Tribunal Foundation investigating the Iranian state’s crime against humanity in the 1980s. She also testified as an ex-political prisoner at the Iranian People’s Tribunal hearings held at The Hague (2012). Among many documentaries, she participated in The Tree That Remembers, an NFB documentary film on the experiences of Iranian political prisoners in the first decade after the 1979 revolution. Her most recent publications are “Ethical-Political Praxis: Social Justice and the Resistant Subject in Iran” in Iran’s Struggles for Social Justice: Palgrave 2017, and “A Taste of Mortadella” in Voices of a Massacre: Onewrold Publication 2021.
