On the blog we're spotlighting Daniel Amir's JQR 114.3 article "Reading Bialik in Tehran"!
Amir studies Persian translations of Bialik to show how the poet could be made to speak for and to the Iranian Jewish community in the vibrant years before 1948.

Israeli public broadcasting's new Persian programming opens with the perfect stumble:
امروز پن��شنبه ۲۲ شهریور ۱۴۰۳... برابر با ... תשע... תשיעי ... نهم ماه الول سال ۵۷۸۴ عبریست.
Bodes well. Always been too many calendars and languages to juggle.

Personal news 🛫 Am off to Boston after the weekend to start as a Junior Research Fellow @BrandeisU's @CrownCenterMES. Looking forward to learning with new colleagues and acquiring an odd accent. I'll be a stranger in a strange land so hmu if you're in town! ☘️
We're capping off a wonderful day with a roundtable event, chaired by Yaacov Yadgar, on 'Frontiers for Research'. We're privileged to be joined by @faisaldevji alongside some of today's other fantastic speakers for some big picture thinking.
Our conference 'The Interwar Middle East: Between the Transnational and the Marginal' is happening all day @oxfordMec.
It's been co-organised by @eirkvi, James Sunderland and me. I'll do my best to update throughout the day.
Up next we have today's penultimate event. Panel Three: 'Transport and Technology' with Mikiya Koyagi of @UTAustin and Cesar Jacquier. It promises to be an exciting discussion chaired by Eugene Rogan.
