Welcome! The Samuel Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture, originally established by the School of Humanities in collaboration with the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, became a campus center in January 2009. Dedicated to drawing on the strengths of the entire UC Irvine campus, the Center focuses on interdisciplinary research projects that bridge the arts, humanities, engineering, medicine, and the sciences.

IranianDocs is a collaborative site for an interdisciplinary research approach to the study of contemporary Persianate cultures. Over time the site will develop archival and interactive capacities for researchers and the public to participate in building critical knowledge about Iran and the Persianate world. IranianDocs reflects the research activities of the Samuel Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture ’s collaborative workshops over the past three years and highlights the Center’s research concentration on science studies in Iran, oral history, and visual culture. The projects currently underway include: an archive of oral history of Iranian scientists, engineers, and medical professional (to be made available online at a later phase); a wiki site for documentary films and video; and the Tehran Asthma Files (TAF). |

One of the most remarkable empires and civilizations of the first millennium CE was that of the Sasanian Empire. As one of the two great powers of late antiquity, the Sasanian domain eventually encompassed not only modern day Iran and Iraq, but it also controlled or influenced the greater part of Central Asia (Afghanistan, Tukremenestan, Uzbekestan), Caucasus (Republic of Azerbijan, Armenia and Georgia) and the Near East (Syria, Arabia, Persian Gulf Arab states, Israel and Egypt).
