Behnam Fomeshi, PhD, MA, has taught in the fields of language and literature for over ten years and has taught at the WEA for the last two years. Behnam majored in literature. He is interested in Persian studies, American studies and in particular the intersection of the two. Through close contact with students both international and domestic in different European, Iranian and Australian contexts, he has come to a sound understanding of challenges facing all the students from diverse backgrounds. As an educator, he remains approachable and accessible to his students. He holds himself to the same standards that he holds his students - he strives to become a skilled educator, thinker and learner, and he believes that this is a life-long process.
