Conference Details

The ISIS Program Committee invites proposals for the Seventh Biennial Iranian Studies Conference in all subfields of Iranian studies. We particularly encourage works devoted to new areas of inquiry and probing new methodologies. The primary language of the conference will be English, and scholars are strongly encouraged to use that language, but proposals for papers in Persian will be considered as well.

The submission deadline for proposals is 10 November 2007. Paper proposals must be limited to 300 words and must present succinct scholarly outlines of the central themes and main arguments of the presentations. Ordinarily four papers are presented at each panel. Scholars wishing to submit a proposal for a pre-arranged panel should complete the panel registration form. Paper and Panel Proposals forms should be sent as e-mail attachments to:
