FYS 12 The Rose Garden: History and Culture of Iran

It takes students beyond the Iranian Revolution, to Iran’s rich philosophical heritage, its spectacular art and architecture, its cinematic traditions, its mystical and messianic movements, its cultures of protest, and its intellectual and religious diversity.
