Behzad continues to struggle in his love/hate relationship with cultural anthropology. Having grown up in Dubai, his doctoral research brought him back to this city where he conducted ethnographic fieldwork amongst a variety of Iranian expatriates. His research interests focus on Iranian migration, processes of urbanization, ethics and whatever else he continues to unearth in his field-notes. He misses Dubai while based in Toronto at present, and longs to reconnect with old usual hangouts: Ostadi, Karachi Darbar and his crew in a place called ‘Satwa.’
