Congratulations to Amy Motlagh for participating in the inaugural cohort of the “P.L.A.C.E. with CAMPSSAH Summer Writing Retreat”
Amy Motlagh is an Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Middle Eastern/South Asian Studies. Motlagh’s work revolves around the history and representation of race in Iran and in the Iranian diaspora. In her current project, she discusses how Iranians and scholars of Iran have not only denied the historical existence of a slave trade in Iran, but have also insisted on its benign nature and genorisity of enslavers towards the enslaved. This writing workshop retreat will allow Motlagh to push this project forward by collaborating with colleagues to receive feedback.
