Arash Mousavi is an Iranian translator who primarily works in the fields of sociology, political studies, and contemporary social thought. Through translating key works by Western thinkers, he has helped expand Persian-speaking readers’ access to current debates in the social sciences.
Among his important translations are On Revolutions by Colin J. Beck (and co-authors), The Sociology of Disaster by Bryan S. Turner, and A Brief History of Equality by Thomas Piketty. These works address, respectively, unruly politics and contemporary revolutions, the social dimensions of disasters, and the history of inequality and equality in human societies.
