Naseh analyzes Afghan forced migration to Iran in journal article

Mitra Naseh, an assistant professor at the Brown School, has authored an invited article on Afghan refugees in Iran for the Migration Information Source, the online journal of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI).

In the article, Naseh, who serves as the research director of the Initiative on Social Work and Forced Migration (ISWFM), examines five distinct periods of forced migration from Afghanistan to Iran in the modern era, highlighting the increasing policy restrictions imposed on Afghans in Iran over the past four decades.

Naseh’s scholarly focus is on the in-depth study of refugees’ social and economic integration, using a multidimensional approach shaped by her diverse academic background. Her research is deeply influenced by her personal experiences and informed by her previous work as a humanitarian service provider with non-governmental organizations and the United Nations, particularly in the Middle East and South Asia.

The Migration Policy Institute, based in Washington, D.C., is a leading nonpartisan think tank focused on global migration policy. Widely recognized for its in-depth and timely analysis, MPI is a trusted resource for understanding migration and refugee issues worldwide.
