Originating Calendar: CSAMES events; This presentation draws on Atyeh’s doctoral research. She studies ethnic and religious minoritized Sunni-Baluch women engaged in solidarity finance using needleworking as an indigenous knowledge common to create an inclusive financial terrain, provide job opportunities, negotiate with the state to claim resources, and engage in collective practices of care and commoning that go beyond the individual and household levels in informal settlements of Iran.
