Sahar Sadeghi is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Muhlenberg College. Her research is organized around several interrelated projects and themes – migration and geopolitics, and racialized and politicized belonging – which are examined through a cross-national, qualitative methods approach with a regional specialization in contemporary Europe and the United States.

Her recently published book Conditional Belonging: The Racialization of Iranians in the Wake of Anti-Muslim Politics details Iranians’ complex and contradictory relationship with race and belonging through a comparative analysis of the Iranian experience in the United States and Germany, focusing particularly on the immigrants’ different processes of racialization.”
