West of Middle East: Stories from the Diaspora (Podcast)
Hosted by Dr. Niaz Kasravi
Season II: Education
The Neda Nobari Foundation (NNF) is a philanthropic organization focused on promoting social and environmental justice through the arts and education. In 2017, NNF selected Dr. Kasravi to host the second season of West of Middle East, a podcast about Middle Eastern change makers in the West. The podcast is the foundation’s original contribution to the independent media landscape, helping promote positive narratives and breaking down the prevailing negative stereotypes about people of Middle Eastern descent. The podcast was released in 2018.
In Season II of West of Middle East, we hear from people from the Middle East diaspora who are changemakers working in and around the field of education- be it through traditional academia, technology, the arts, advocacy or movement-building.
