Event Details
This two-day collaborative research workshop is the continuation of a project at the Samuel Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture (UCI) on creating an oral history archive of Iranian scientists, engineers, and medical professionals in Iran and its diaspora – the workshop is organized in collaboration with the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies and the UCI’s Center for Ethnography. This year the workshop is organized with a specific theme that ushers in interviews and discussions around the problem of asthma in Tehran, Iran.
The research activities include presentations on aspects of asthmatic space in Tehran, interviews of scientists and medical professionals, and group discussion on how to understand asthmatic space. This workshop will eventually make its finding available to the public and create public dialogue that includes various experts, professionals, and activists.
Event is free and open to the public.
