Jenna Nassiri is a social anthropologist and a lecturer in the Department of
Anthropology at York University, where she earned her Ph.D. in 2025. Entering migration
studies as a second-generation diasporic scholar, her research
investigates the bodily, material, and affective impacts of transnational migration across
generations. By utilizing life history methods, her work traces how memories, colonial
histories, and diasporic identities are actively negotiated and embodied over time. In
addition to her academic research, she serve as a co-editor for the International
Organization for Migration’s Migration Policy Practice.
