Autorenporträt
Jabbar Moradi was born into a Muslim family in Iran. He now lives in the Czech Republic. He holds a Ph.D. in environmental sciences (2018), with a focus on the remediation of mining and quarrying extraction sites. He has studied key religious, environmentalist, national, and political ideologies, taking in their spectrum of thinking, both mainstream and extremist. Jabbar is concerned that the tradition of clear-sighted, scientific rationalism in the West is being undermined by irrational ideologies.

She received her master’s in political science and Russian linguistics from the University of Zurich UZH in 2017.
