May 6, 2022

Congrats to Sajedah Sadat Hosseini (Roshan GIDP), a SBSRI Dissertation Research Grant awardee! Her work explores a version of the Persian Tales of a Parrot, a seminal story cycle concerning morality, gender, and sexuality, found in the 14 century Tutinama by the poet and mystic, Zia' Al-Din NakSabi. She seeks to better understand what this work can teach us about Persian literature and animal fables and the role of such texts in the formation of what came to be known as the Persianate World.
