    Event description

    When Golriz Ghahraman was nine years old she and her parents were forced to flee their home in Iran. In Know Your Place, Golriz offers a moving, honest depiction of seeking asylum, making a home in Aotearoa, and becoming the first refugee to be elected to the New Zealand Parliament.

    Join writer and lawyer Brannavan Gnanalingam, and Golriz for a conversation about this extraordinary journey. 

    About Golriz: 
    Golriz Ghahraman made history as the first refugee to be sworn in as a member of New Zealand’s parliament in 2017. Iranian-born, Golriz arrived in New Zealand with her parents seeking asylum as a child. She studied human rights law at Oxford and has practiced as a lawyer in New Zealand and for United Nations tribunals in Africa, The Hague, and Cambodia.
