The UC Davis Humanities Institute’s Book Chat series opens with Professor Talinn Grigor in conversation with Dr. Wendy DeSouza. Grigor will discuss her latest book, The Persian Revival: The Imperialism of the Copy in Iranian and Parsi Architecture (2021) and her research on 19th-20th-century art and architectural histories through postcolonial and critical theories grounded in Iran, Armenio-Iran, and Parsi India.

This book chat will take place Wednesday, October 12, 6-7 pm at the International House Davis with a wine and cheese reception at 5:30.

The DHI’s Book Chat series celebrates the artistic and intellectual ventures of our faculty and allows them to share their new publications, performances, or recordings with the Davis community. These events are free and open to the public.
