Our guests in this episode are Mona Azadkia and Yeganeh Alimohammadi. Mona and Yeganeh met in high school in Tehran and came to the U.S. to study. Their conversation touches on the ways Trump's travel ban impacted their time in the US and the ways becoming an immigrant offered new insights on Iranian culture and opportunities to redefine themselves. Mona is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the London School of Economics.
Yeganeh is a PhD candidate in the Operations Research group in Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University. Mona graduated from Stanford in 2020, and Yeganeh in 2022.
