“The endowment from Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute will enable Iranian studies graduate students to gain intensive training in their chosen disciplines while simultaneously acquiring deep, field-specific expertise in art, archaeology, history, languages, literatures and religions from the interdisciplinary program. It is my honor and responsibility to ensure that the endowment and the graduate program fulfill this extraordinary promise,” says Matthew Canepa, UCI’s Elahé Omidyar Mir-Djalali Presidential Chair in Art History & Archaeology of Ancient Iran and director of the graduate specialization in ancient Iran and the premodern Persian world.
