Reception & Film Screening In Conjunction With The Iranian Diaspora in Global Perspective Conference

In conjunction with the Iranian Diaspora in Global Perspective conference, join us for an evening honoring a pioneer of Iranian diaspora studies (and UCLA alum), Dr. Hamid Naficy.  Following a welcome reception, the evening begins with a screening of Maryam Sepehri's film, Mouth Harp in Minor Key: Hamid Naficy in/on Exile, a "documentary portrait that packs a powerful punch elucidating the complexities of personal identity in a globalized world," followed by a live conversation between Dr. Naficy, Dr. Kevan Harris, and Dr. Amy Malek.

The Conference is the culmination of a collaboration between three institutional co-sponsors: the Center for Near Eastern Studies at University of California, Los Angeles; the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University; and the Iranian & Persian Gulf Studies Program at Oklahoma State University.
