FEZENA - SOAS PhD Surveys on 'Zoroastrians-by-choice' and their interactions with Zoroastrians born to at least one Zoroastrian parent

SOAS PhD Surveys on 'Zoroastrians-by-choice' and their interactions with Zoroastrians born to at least one Zoroastrian parent

Some of you may recall an anonymous survey by Ruzbeh Hodiwala, a PhD Candidate at SOAS, on Zoroastrians-by-choice and their interactions with Zoroastrians born to at least one Zoroastrian parent. Ruzbeh had also presented his preliminary findings at the 12th World Zoroastrian Congress in New York and recently at the 8th World Zoroastrian Youth Congress in London along with screening of a film titled 'Becoming Zoroastrian' that he has co-produced with a filmmaker Leah Rustomjee. Many of you have already completed the survey!

However, since the Gen Z survey was underway, Ruzbeh had discontinued the surveys in order to minimize confusion and survey fatigue among members of the community. As a result, he was unable to reach out to the maximum number of Zoroastrians. Ruzbeh is now planning to close the survey for good and is reaching out to the members of the Zoroastrian community one last time to spare some time to take the survey if you haven't already done it before! 

Please feel free to share it widely among your family,friends, and community members around the world (excluding Iran).
