Sepideh Shahamati is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Geography, Planning, and Environment at Concordia University. Her research revolves around the intersection of gentrification, storytelling, and cartography. More particularly, she is exploring the use of stories and maps for representing the impacts of forced displacement in Montreal. In her most recent research, she created the Atlas of Intangible Heritage of Parc-Extension. This Atlas uses a number of maps and an audio-walk to represent and spatialize the geography of stories and memories of the residents of Parc-Extension.
