Halleh Ghorashi (also spelled Ghoreishi; born 30 July 1962[1] in Tehran) is an Iranian-born anthropologist who lives in the Netherlands.

Biography

Ghorashi grew up in Iran, coming to the Netherlands in 1988 as a political refugee. She studied cultural anthropology at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, and received her Ph.D. at University of Nijmegen in May 2001, with a doctoral dissertation titled Ways to Survive, Battles to Win: Iranian Women Exiles in the Netherlands and the U.S.[5] In 2005, she was appointed professor,[1] and in 2006, she became the first occupant of the chair for Management of Diversity and Integration, endowed by PaVEM, the Dutch government's Committee for Participation of Women of Ethnic Minority Groups. Her inauguration was attended by Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, chair of PaVEM and was widely covered in the Dutch media.[6][7]

In 2008, Ghorashi was co-organizer of a conference on the Muslim diaspora.[8] In 2009, she was a speaker at a protest in front of the Binnenhof (Dutch Parliament Building).[9]

Halleh Ghorashi is cited as a proponent of more inclusive political thought, countering the Dutch political climate of the early 21st century with its strong populist and anti-Islamic discourse. Ghorashi argues that when immigrants are maligned and excluded from political debate integration into Dutch society cannot be expected.[10]

In 2010, Dutch feminist magazine Opzij listed her as one of the most powerful women in the Netherlands.[11]
