Portrait of Mohsen Monji, Sociologist and Population Health Researcher

MOHSEN MONJI

I am a member of the Bakhtiari tribe (Haft Lang – “Seven Legs” – Dinaroun bāb, Boveyri Monji ṭāyefeh [clan]), Indigenous to the Zagros Mountains. I work at the intersections of critical Indigenous studies, Black feminist thought, and sociology of well-being. My research explores how historical and ongoing systems of power and inequality—including colonialism and racial capitalism—create inequities in mental well-being among Indigenous peoples in settler colonial contexts.
