Vossoughi’s research centers on hybrid learning environments that blend formal and informal elements and support young people to engage in sophisticated forms of disciplinary thinking while questioning and expanding disciplinary boundaries. As the daughter of Iranian immigrants, she is also personally invested in the development and study of educational settings for youth from migrant, immigrant and diasporic backgrounds. Vossoughi is currently studying embodied learning in after-school tinkering programs that blend scientific inquiry, literacy, and the arts. She takes a collaborative approach to research, partnering with educators and students to study the conditions that foster educational dignity and possibility.
