We are pleased to share that HIAA PhD candidate Mohadeseh (Hosna) Salari Sardari has been invited to teach a Graduate level winter semester course at Stanford University. Titled Writing Modernity: Gender, Space and Literary Interventions in Iran, her seminar course is offered through the Department of Comparative Literature and will focus on memoirs, poems, plays, and newspapers written by Iranian women. Rather than treating these works only as historical or literary documents, students read them as creative and spatial interventions that helped shape modern Iranian culture. Through close reading and interdisciplinary analysis, students will explore how women questioned the architectural and social boundaries that confined them and redefined private and public space.
