S A Hamed Hosseini (Iran, 1970) is a sociologist. Lecturer at The University of Newcastle, Australia, he works in the fields of the global social movements, global social problems, sociology of knowledge, and the political sociology of ethnic minorities in the West. He has written articles and a book on the ideological aspects of global social movements including the ideological and cognitive transitions in the global justice movements. Hosseini is a Faculty Associated Researcher at The Research Institute for Social Inclusion and Wellbeing (RISIW), and Humanities Research Institute (HRI), The University of Newcastle, Australia. He completed his PhD in Sociology and Global Studies (2006) at the Australian National University (ANU). Since 2003, he has been teaching at the Australian National University, University of Technology Sydney, University of New South Wales, and the University of Newcastle. He has won research grants including the 2010 Bilateral Grant from the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia. ==Research interests== His original research interests were in the political sociology of Iran and Islamist thoughts (the case of Dr Ali Shariati). This resulted in a series of articles published in an Iranian leftist magazine, Farhange Tose'eh (فرهنگ توسعه), through which he criticised the applicability of mainstream Western social theories in non-Western (particularly Muslim) societies like Iran. The demise of the 1990s Iranian reformist movement led by Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran (1997–2005) and the rise of a new conservative government were predicted by him. He explained this in terms of the movement's limits caused by its association with the urban middle class concerns and values; for their failure in paying attention to social justice and the class divisions; incapacity to communicate with the working and lower classes; adoption of structural adjustment policies; and inability to develop indigenised models for political and economic change. Through a number of articles he outlined a post-colonial Southern perspective in sociology based on the social ideas of Ali Shariati (1933–1977) (a Muslim reformist and the leading intellectual figure behind Iran's 1979 revolution whose ideas became once again a source of inspiration for Iranian democratic movements in the late 1990s and 2000s). His PhD research at the ANU was in the area of social movements, focusing on the so-called anti-globalization movement (global justice or alter-globalization movement). This resulted in ''Alternative Globalizations'' (2010),〔Hosseini, S. A. (2010) Alternative Globalizations: An Integrative Approach to Studying Dissident Knowledge in the Global Justice Movement (Milton Park; New York: Routledge).〕 a book which set out the main ideational features of the movement and developed a new way of theorising the (trans)formation of ideas, identities, and solidarities in globalised social movements. His recent studies and publications have contributed to Social Sciences by developing new concepts such as ''accommodative consciousness'', ''interactive solidarities'', ''activist knowledge'', ''social nexuses of inequality'', ''ideological visions'', ''transversal cosmopolitanism''. It provides researchers in the areas of social movement and social ideation studies with a new integrative approach which accommodates major theoretical disputes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「S A Hosseini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
