Speaker Bio:
Sadeq Rahimi, MSc, PhD, is Research Associate and Lecturer at the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Faculty member at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis; and Senior Social Scientist at FSI. He received a PhD in Social and Transcultural Psychiatry at McGill University, and postdoctoral fellowships in Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and in Middle Eastern Studies at the Harvard Center for Middle Eastern Studies. After receiving his Tenure in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Saskatchewan, Dr. Rahimi moved back to Boston where he served as a visiting Assistant Professor in Global Health and Social Medicine at HMS. He has received clinical psychoanalytic training from Montreal and Boston institutes, and has held a private practice for over 20 years. His research and publications focus on culture and subjectivity, including schizophrenia and culture, political subjectivity, radicalization, and virtual subjectivity. In his 2015 book, Meaning, Madness and Political Subjectivity (Routledge), he explored the subjective experience of schizophrenia as embedded and shaped by culture, politics, and history; and his recent book, The Hauntology of Everyday Life (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) examines mechanisms of production of desire and transmission of political affect through language and culture.
