Alireza Doostdar is an assistant professor of Islamic Studies and the Anthropology of Religion at the Divinity School and the College, University of Chicago. His first book, The Iranian Metaphysicals, was published by Princeton University Press in 2018.

Join us on September 24th, in 555 Weiser Hall at 4PM for a discussion on the reception of Hollywood horror in Iran and its differential uptake in discussions of filmic spirituality, on one side, and paranoia about satanism, on the other.

This event is free and open to the public.
