MOHAMAD-SAID Aman

Aman Mohamad-Saïd is an interpreter in Tigrigna and Tigré and a mediator specializing in supporting people in situations of psychosocial vulnerability. Based in France since 2015, his professional career has focused on the intersection of migration, language, and clinical issues.

Since 2018, he has been involved in various associations that help exiles, particularly in Calais, where he has developed a field practice that is attentive to the effects of exile and situations of precariousness. This experience has fueled in-depth reflection on intercultural mediation and the conditions for institutional hospitality adapted to contemporary migration patterns.

In 2019-2020, he took the inter-university course "Hospitality, Mediation, and Migration" at INALCO and Paris-Descartes University, consolidating his theoretical skills in the anthropology of migration, sociolinguistics, and transcultural clinical practice. A former translator for Refugee.info, he also collaborates with INALCO on the Maigralecte research program, contributing to work on language practices in the context of migration and translation issues in access to rights and healthcare.

In addition to his fieldwork, he is a lecturer on several university courses, helping to train future mediators and teaching conceptual and ethical tools relating to interculturality and supporting highly vulnerable groups.

Since 2021, he has been working at Ospere-Samdarra, at the Le Vinatier Hospital Center in Bron, where he works in the field of mental health. His work lies at the intersection of linguistic mediation, social support, and cross-cultural clinical practice, with a particular focus on the psychological effects of exile and institutional procedures for receiving migrants.
