Researcher
Room JK25/221a

Current Responsibilities
Current research project: “Shakespeare and Women’s Rights in Iran”. As has been well noted in recent scholarship, Shakespearean adaptations have provided a creative framework for global explorations of questions of gender. The goal of my postdoctoral research is to explore how Shakespeare’s plays have performed this function in Iran, and to consider the ways in which they can further enhance a capacity to imagine more socially and politically equal futures for Iranian women.
