This winter, UCLA’s Center for Near Eastern Studies and Program of Iranian Studies are co-hosting a series of presentations as part of the Bilingual Lecture Series on Iran. Distinguished speakers include Dr. Ziba Mir-Hosseini (SOAS, London), Dr. Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak (UMD), Pouran Derakhshandeh, Mary Apick and Parviz Sayyad, Dr. Hashem Pesaran (USC and University of Cambridge), and Dr. Houchang Chehabi (Boston University). The CNES’ Bilingual Lecture Series on Iran was launched in 2002-03 to promote Middle Eastern languages not only as subjects of study but also as vehicles for intellectual communication. The program is organized by Professor Nayereh Tohidi (California State University, Northridge).
