Book Launch: The Armenian Woman, Minoritarian Agency, and the Making of Iranian Modernity, 1860–1979

With this book, Houri Berberian and Talinn Grigor offer the first history of Armenian women in modern Iran. Foregrounding the work of Armenian women's organizations, the authors trace minoritarian politics and the shifting relationships among doubly minoritized Armenian female subjects, Iran's central nodes of power, and the Irano-Armenian patriarchal institutions of church and political parties.
The event -- scheduled to dovetail with International Women's Day -- will spotlight coauthors Houri Berberian (History, UCI) and Talinn Grigor (Art History, UC Davis), who will present their new book, The Armenian Woman, Minoritarian Agency, and the Making of Iranian Modernity, 1860–1979, and celebrate the women of their book. Their presentation will be followed by a reflective Q&A, reception (food, drink, music), and book signing. Attendance is Free!
Co sponsors: Center for Armenian Studies; Illuminations; History Department; Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture.
