Ms Zohreh Moghfeli

I am a pstgraduate research student interested in social network analysis, farmers' adaptation and resilience and the dynamics of social relationships among them, particularly in facing risks and changes, including climate change. 

In my PhD project, I focus on investigating the systemic risks affecting farmers and their products, along with analysing the social networks of farmers and agricultural organisations to explore the impact of these networks on farmers' resilience and adaptation, under the supervision of Prof. Shonil Bhagwat and Dr Arabella Fraser. 

Prior to this I did my master's and bachelor's degree in human geography at the University of Tehran, Iran.
