Fatemeh鈥檚 research is on political imagination (takhayyul-e siyasi听鬲禺蹖賱 爻蹖丕爻蹖)as a collective constellation inspired by political, theological, philosophical, and historical forces and traditions aiming at envisioning a different future and making it possible. Focusing on Islam and contemporary Iran, she听studies political constellations that allow individuals and groups to define their aspirations by remaking and redefining collective fantasies. She studies the intersubjective and socially constructed mentalities aspire to a different future in a creative and cognitive process typically concerned with what is unreal, unknowable, hypothetical, or yet-to-be.听

She has also researched gender and power in today's Iran, gender in ethical thoughts in the early Islamic era, gender in Zoroastrianism, and gendered nationalism. Her research includes the Iranian revolution, the unveiling campaign of the first Pahlavi Iran and the compulsory hijab of the Islamic Republic.

In recent years, she has been studying constitutional theory and its relation to sovereignty in post-revolutionary Iran. This research will be published as a book in Persian and a few articles in English. 听 听
