Long-form writing on migration, family, language, identity, collective grief, and the particular experience of building a life between Iran and Canada.
Iranian-Canadian life cannot be reduced to either culture in isolation. Migration history, political events, language, family roles, gender, generation, class, and the reason for leaving all shape how a person experiences belonging and distress.
This collection offers culturally situated reflection without treating Iranian culture as pathology or assuming every reader has the same story. Clinical ideas are used to expand understanding rather than explain people away.
