| In this lecture, Professor Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet will consider the continuing controversies around state-sanctioned unveiling and reveiling in Iran. She will focus on how clothing became a way to exert authority and define identity and analyse the prominence of clothing as public expressions of state authority, religious power, social order, and moral purity (Image courtesy: The Guardian).

| As part of our series showcasing research presented at the 2026 BIPS Grant Holders' Workshop, we are pleased to highlight the work of Ashkan Hashemipour, a PhD student at the University of Oxford and recipient of a BIPS 2026 Travel Grant.

Ashkan's report, Revolutionaries without Borders: A Transnational History of the Iranian Guerrilla Movement (1963–1979), is now available online. His project examines how Iranian guerrilla groups built and sustained connections with revolutionary movements and governments across the world between 1963 and 1979.

We look forward to sharing more of the fascinating research presented at the Grant Holders' Workshop over the coming weeks.
