Happy birthday, Guillaume! (M Feb 24, 2025)
Happy birthday, Guillaume! How is your freelance architecture practice going? How are you?
Have you visited Hamden Connecticut, or Yale University, much since all of you moved back to France? (1966-1972 when the MacLeod's lived at 125 Mill Rock Road seems like a long time ago!).
Happy birthday!
Scott

| Stanford Report: Abbas Milani’s Mission to Preserve Iranian HistoryBy Melissa De Witte |
|  | (Excerpts from article)
“The Stanford Iranian Studies director has spent two decades transforming the program he founded into a global hub for the study of modern Iran.
Abbas Milani is dedicated to preserving and promoting Iran’s history and heritage that he and so many others cherish which is why he has led a concerted effort to build a wide range of archival collections of key Iranian politicians, scholars, and cultural figures.
Milani has also collaborated with the Stanford University Libraries, which now house 11 distinct collections related to Iranian history, culture, and politics, including four collections related to important women in Iran such as the scholar Homa Nategh and Homa Sarshar, a prominent Iranian journalist and women’s rights activist.
“The goal from the beginning was to make Stanford an indispensable place for anyone who wants to do something meaningful about the history of Iran in the 20th century,” said Kioumars Ghereghlou, the curator for Middle East Collections at Stanford University Libraries, noting that the collections have been donated to Stanford because of the connections Milani has cultivated across the Iranian diaspora community.
Seeing activists committed to advancing freedom – from their right to education to choosing what clothes they want to wear – gives Milani optimism for the future of a country he cares deeply about.
As the Iranian studies program celebrates its 20-year anniversary, Milani continues to hope for democratic change in Iran. ‘I hope for the hundred years old dream of secular democracy in Iran, spearheaded by Iranian women in the last two decades, will finally become reality. The world and especially the Middle East will then be a more peaceful place.’” |

| | Houri Berberian and Talinn Grigor offer the first history of Armenian women in modern Iran with their book The Armenian Woman, Minoritarian Agency, and the Making of Iranian Modernity, 1860–1979 (Stanford University Press, 2025). Foregrounding the work of Armenian women's organizations, the authors trace minoritarian politics and the shifting relationships among doubly minoritized Armenian female subjects, Iran's central nodes of power, and the Irano-Armenian patriarchal institutions of church and political parties.
