Current Courses
From Constitutional Revolution to Islamic Revolution
This course studies significant changes that occurred in Iran from Constitutional Revolution and lasted for half a century until the Revolution of 1979 and the Islamization of the County. Join us and learn how a country may experience significant changes in less than a century.
The nineteenth century in Iran is one of the most challenging periods in the history of the county. Perhaps it was the first time Iranians started questioning the monarchy, the government, and social justice. However, significant cultural changes began in Iran during the Qajar dynasty (1789-1925). This course concentrates on the Qajar dynasty and Europe's influence on Iran from the nineteenth century onwards. It profoundly studies the role of poetry in Iranians' awareness, criticizing the Shah and the justice system.
The goal of this course is to enable students to understand a segment of Iran's modern history while learning about poetry's role in Iranians' political lives. The course is based on lectures, and the class meets four times (8 hours) with the instructor.
