Earlier this fall, we celebrated the official launch of the new UCLA Yarshater Center for the Study of Iranian Literary Traditions. We are pleased to help usher in a new era for Iranian Studies both at UCLA and in the United States more broadly.
A new era for Iranian studies
“This puts UCLA at the forefront and as the epicenter of ancient Iranian studies and Persian studies in the United States — if not in the world,” said Humanities Dean Alexandra Minna Stern.
