Funded Activity Summary
Transcending religion: Pre-Islamic heritage and cultural stability in Iran. This project aims to examine pre-Islamic heritage as a potential contributor to a more stable Middle East by studying its role in an emergent Iranian zone of cultural influence in the Middle East. Understanding contributing factors to stability in the Middle East is crucial to managing Australia’s cultural, economic, and security concerns. The project will develop a situated, multi-scalar method of analysis to establish the function of pre-Islamic heritage using the Parsa-Pasargadae region as an illustrative example. The project expects to deliver insights into the culture and collective identity formation within Muslim societies, and provide a platform for comparative research in the Middle East.Funded Activity Details
