Ida’s interests are broadly animated by questions about the dynamics of power, inequality, and social change under global capitalism. In particular, they explore how people experience and make sense of the social, economic, and political transformations associated with rapidly intensifying economic precarity and social inequality. Ida’s dissertation research examines the Iranian labor movement and the erosion of worker rights in the face of neoliberal globalization policies through a comparative and critical ethnographic approach. Ida has taught several undergraduate courses in Deviance, Crime, Technology, and Introduction to Sociology.
