Afshan Paarlberg

Afshan Paarlberg is an assistant research scholar with the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. She serves as the project director for The Ihsan Standard— a community-engaged research and legal project of the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative. She is also pursuing her Ph.D. in philanthropic studies. Afshan’s mixed-methods research, publications, and practice focus on access to legal justice for marginalized communities, including immigrants and refugees.

Afshan holds a J.D. from The University of Houston Law Center. She also has a B.A. with Honors in Middle Eastern Studies and a B.B.A. in Finance, both from The University of Texas at Austin. In 2020, she was an inaugural Fellow with the Zakat Foundation Institute, obtaining a graduate certificate in Muslim philanthropic and humanitarian studies. Before joining the school, her legal career focused on immigration law, nonprofit governance-risk-compliance, and access to justice initiatives—practices that are crucial to informing her scholarship.

Afshan serves as the President of the board of Exodus Refugee Immigration—a state-wide refugee resettlement agency. She also serves on the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding board, a nonpartisan research institute.
