Iranian Women In Beautiful British Columbia
Giti Eghbal Kalvir is a native of Iran, graduated with her MA from the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at Simon Fraser University. Her educational background also includes a BA in Clinical Psychology from Iran. Her BA thesis research topic focuses on women’s physical and mental health. What has mainly prompted her to choose Women’s Studies was her personal experience along with her professional practice. Her professional/educational background leads her to scrutinize more to the relational aspects of human rights and equalities of gender, women’s identity, race, and class in the field of immigration. She found her passion dedicated to serving Middle East immigrants. She has practical experience in educational institutes and has been involved with many non-profit organizations targeting immigrant’s health, immigrant’s private aspects life, migration, and international rights. She has been involved providing services emphasizing on Middle East immigrant families through many organizations such as Immigrant Services Society as a settlement counsellor, RCMP, a non-profit organization as a family counsellor, and an ESL academy as an educational counsellor. Her first project was on the economic situation of Iranian lone mother immigrants (“Iranian Immigrant Women in Canada: Dynamics of Poverty among Iranian Single Mothers”). She was inspired to conduct this research due to her practical work experience in addition to her educational background. The result of this course work has been accepted in many local and international academic conferences and was accepted for publication by International Conference on Social Science and Humanities (ICSSH, 2009, in press).
