Halleh Ghorashi is an authority on refugee and cultural diversity research. She is well known for her innovative approach to combining experimental qualitative methods, discourse analysis and narratives. Ghorashi has made important contributions to theories concerning the inclusion of immigrants in society, for example by revealing hidden structures of exclusion. She is a Crown-appointed member of the Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands, where she devotes herself to promoting the cause of refugees and diversity in the boardroom. Ghorashi founded the Refugee Academy to bring refugee-related research and practice closer together.
