Gen Z and Beyond Survey team attends the World Zoroastrian Congress

Members of the Gen Z and Beyond: A Survey for Every Generation team recently attended the 12th World Zoroastrian Congress in New York to present their research and early findings of the project.

The project lead, Dr Sarah Stewart, gave a talk that began with an overview of the project, including its purpose, structure and intended outcomes. She then drew on preliminary data deriving from questions concerning entrepreneurship and philanthropy in order to examine the extent to which these are connected. 

The project manager, Dr Nazneen Engineer, gave a talk based on a research project that explored the pathways to an ethnic and religious identity for the offspring of mixed heritage of, specifically, one Parsi Zoroastrian parent and one non-Parsi non-Zoroastrian parent. 

The project's associate researcher, Sheherazad Pavri, attended via the Zoroastrian Youth Across Borders initiative and spoke powerfully about the Empowering Mobeds.

It was wonderful to be able to meet the project's international ambassadors, working group members and supporters, and thank them for all their hard work and perseverance.

Many thanks and congratulations to co-chairs Arzan Sam Wadia and Astad Clubwala, the organisers and volunteers for a memorable Congress.
