The Iran-Iraq War began eighteen months after the establishment of Iran's Islamic Republic and lasted for what now amounts to one quarter of its existence. The war has had a profound impact on all aspects of life in Iran. Non-Iranian studies of the conflict, however, have failed to appreciate the war's significance, in part because scholars have neglected Persian-language sources on the conflict. Some of the most notable Iranian sources are those produced by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. This seminar will use those sources to examine how the Revolutionary Guards have represented the history of the war and their roles in the conflict.
Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
