DrNajmeh Hassanli

Najmeh Hassanli is a Senior Lecturer in the UTS Business School. Her research explores how participation, connection and belonging are experienced and fostered across community, organisational and cultural settings. She is particularly interested in the collective practices and often-overlooked forms of work that enable people to come together and participate in social and organisational life. Her research has examined these questions across a range of contexts, including community organisations, events and cultural participation, migration and displacement, and academic life, with growing attention to care, relational labour, and the practices through which participation and belonging are fostered.
