History, myth and literature in modern Iran
The first grants for the modern history programme were awarded by the Research Committee in June 2006. A range of projects were provided with sponsorship including research on the development of museums, the historical imagination under Reza Shah and the development of the late Pahlavi Foreign Ministry world view. All successful candidates were instructed to maintain regular contact with the project manager, Dr Ali Ansari at the University of St Andrews, and a workshop to review programme has been scheduled in St Andrews for late spring. All grant holders will be expected to attend and report on their work at the workshop.
