Take a deep dive into Iran with us—one of the world’s oldest civilizations, and one of its least understood. We will explore the remarkable story of Iran across more than 2,500 years, reviewing the diversity and richness of its various empires and the cultural forces that have shaped the Iranian people. In a light and readable style, Michael Axworthy’s A History of Iran: Empire of the Mind (2007) traces Iran’s development from the great Persian empires through Islamic conquest, monarchy, revolution, modern transformation, to today's Islamic Republic. In the final weeks, we will turn to Iran since 2007 and explore the country through acclaimed Iranian cinema, epic traditions, renowned Persian carpets, and major poets whose voices continue to resonate. Join us to better understand this nation of 91 million which today claims our attention.
