Sona Kazemi's research examines disability, madness, and psychiatry through a transnational and political lens, often focusing on Iran, the Middle East, and comparisons with Western contexts like Canada. Their work explores how state power, war, political violence, and nationalism shape understandings of disability and mental illness, drawing on disability studies, Foucauldian theory, and postcolonial critique. This research is likely of interest to students studying disability studies, critical psychiatry, or the politics of health in Global South and diaspora contexts.
Publication activity has been modest and irregular over the past decade, with occasional years of higher output (e.g., 2019, 2021) interspersed with single-publication years and gaps, averaging fewer than one publication per year over the last five years.
