| Sat May 8th | Joanna de Groot: Has Iran has found its own identity? Begins at 10.30am. This lavishly illustrated talk will look at the changing ways in which people who have been called 'Persians' and 'Iranians' have understood their history and culture. It will show how religion, art, politics, and poetry have interacted over time to shape such understandings, and how the past influences present day Iranian views of their identity. Joanna de Groot is a senior lecturer in the History Faculty of the University of York. She has worked and lived in Iran which has been one of the main fields of her writing and teaching during her academic career. She is interested in the links between culture, politics, and lived experience in the history of Iran and is currently writing a book on the social history of nineteenth century Iran. |
