Sheragim Jenabzadeh is a social and cultural historian and Assistant Professor in Wilfrid Laurier University's Faculty of Liberal Arts. His research examines the intersections of youth politics, anti-colonialism, and global movements for political and social change. He is the author of published and forthcoming works in European Review of History and edited volumes published by Routledge and Cambridge University Press.

Sheragim’s current book project examines anti-colonialism, gender, nation-building, and modernity through the lens of youth in the early 20th century. Drawing on state and diasporic archives across Europe and the Middle East, the project explores how Iranian international students in the Weimar Republic used their time abroad to educate themselves in the shared political and social concerns of their peers from Europe and its colonies. Subverting state prescribed roles as agents of modernization, Iranian students forged transnational networks of collaboration to reimagine youth as a political and spiritual force capable of ushering social equality and national sovereignty in the age of empire. His research has been supported by funding from the governments of Germany and Canada, as well as Princeton University and the University of Toronto.

Beyond his research, Sheragim serves as an Associate Editor of Iranian Studies, published by Cambridge University Press. He is also committed to creating interdisciplinary spaces that bring scholars, students, and the broader public into conversation. His event, The World at Night, hosted at Princeton University, brought together researchers from the humanities and sciences alongside local community organizations to explore the global challenge of light pollution and its possible solutions.
