The killing of the 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Jina "Masha" Amini in morality police custody in September 2022 ha s ensued a concurrent and momentous Iranian uprising\, spotlighting Irani ans' contemporary struggles at a global media forefront. This talk revolv es around Iranian women's circumstances intersecting with themes of histo ry\, gender\, space\, rights\, and culture. Through wide-ranging cultural and contextural discourse in-between the academic and personal\, the tal k will contextualize the circumstances in conjunction with gendered space s\, drawing inferences spanning history\, spatiality\, cultural heritage\ , and mythical crossings. The talk will rely on the concurrent events onl y as a center of a much more complex and intricate collective sphere of k nowing around which to orbit\, leading and giving rise to current moments and events. The sphere is an assemblage of revelatory spaces from which to open up into a multitude of essential familiarity thresholds and diver se perspective crossings. The talk will enter these spaces as windows tow ard a more broadened and multidimensional map of understanding to explore the complexities of Iranian women-space intersections. Organized under a triad of thematic headings entailing hostilities\, porosities\, and spon taneities\, the monologue will engage complicated histories (pre/post-\, contemporary/ancient\, etc)\, gender roles\, socio-political mishaps\, an d views on idiosyncratic Iranian resiliencies echoed through enacting\, n egotiating\, redefining and contesting urban landscapes. The talk's ambit ious aim would be to leave the audience empowered - entering genuine know ing thresholds - and vested in - choosing to push toward action: standing with the Iranian people.\n\n\nAn architectural designer\, design researc her and urbanist\, Sara Khorshidifard is an assistant professor and the d irector of the Center for Community Studies at Drury University's Hammons School of Architecture. Her principal research examines synergistic inte rplays and symbiotic interconnections between intentionally designed and socially constructed spaces. It entails a triad trajectory in Urban-Rural Interface Studies\, Architectural Education and Tehran Studies. Her scho larships engage in new ways of thinking about cities beyond architectural objects\, contemplating habitation\, flows and vestigial spaces.
