SOCI 261 - Modern Iran: Seeing through the City


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD

This course aims to familiarize students with contemporary Iranian society and culture. Informed by a multidisciplinary approach, the readings are organized to offer both a historical perspective and a sociological knowledge of modern Iran. All through the course there is an emphasis on Tehran, the capital city of Iran. The city will be studied as a reflection and site of broader sociopolitical changes and cultural shifts. Some of the readings provide general context, but for the most part, urban culture and social relations are used as a lens to analyze and understand contemporary Iranian society.

Enrollment Limit: 30
Instructor: J. Jalili
