Ia Shalamberidze is a researcher from Georgia interested in questions of migration, memory, identity, and social change. Her work explores how individual experiences are shaped by broader historical, cultural, and social contexts, with a particular focus on mobility, belonging, and the ways people construct meaning across transitions and change.

Working across interdisciplinary approaches, she is interested in connecting personal narratives with wider social processes and examining how stories, experiences, and forms of knowledge travel across communities and generations.

Ia is attentive to questions of gender, violence, and femicide in contexts of conflict and post-conflict societies. She is a co-author of a forthcoming Routledge publication on femicide during the war in Georgia, based on oral history narratives.

Through OHMA, Ia looks forward to engaging with diverse perspectives on migration and global transformation, strengthening interdisciplinary dialogue, and contributing to collaborative approaches to understanding contemporary social challenges.
