SUMMARY:Maj Gen Sir John Malcolm and Persia (1769 -1833)
DESCRIPTION:This is the second lecture in the series entitled ‘Evening with Experts’ at the National Army Museum. We have the privilege to welcome Ali M Ansari\, who is the Professor of Iranian History at the University of St Andrews in Scotland\, where he is also the founding director of the Institute for Iranian Studies. He is currently on an Exchange Fellowship with the Foreign Office. \nMaj Gen Sir John Malcolm and Persia (1769 -1833) \nLeaving his native Scotland at the tender age of 12\, Sir John Malcolm became famous for the extensive work on developing the administration and practices of good governance in British India. Widely admired by his peers\, a memorial now stands in his honour at Westminster Abbey. Less known is the substantial work he did furthering relations with Persia. Leading two embassies\, Malcolm also became the author of the first detailed history of Persia in the English language\, praised by Sir Walter Scott and earning him an Honorary Doctorate from Oxford in 1816. He also produced a memoir which has served as a template for political officers and cultural observers ever since. This lecture will look at his time in Persia\, his observations and his continuing relevance for the study of Iran today. \nIt starts at 18:30\, the café will be open before and after the event if you wish to buy a drink. Booking is essential. If you would like to book\, please confirm by email to hchalmers@nam.ac.uk or telephone 02078812445.

SUMMARY:Tradition and modernity in Iranian political thought: Prof Ali Ansari in conversation with Ramin Jahanbegloo and Richard Whatmore
DESCRIPTION:A discussion with the noted Iranian philosopher Professor Ramin Jahanbegloo\, Vice-Dean and Executive Director of the Mahatma Gandhi Centre for Peace Studies at OP Jindal Global University\, Delhi\, and Professor Richard Whatmore\, Chair of Modern History at the University of St Andrews\, led by Ali Ansari\, Professor of Iranian History and Founding Director of the Institute of Iranian Studies\, on Iranian intellectuals and their role in the creation of a distinctly modern Iranian identity in the 20th century and its consequences. \nDrawing on the intellectual traditions of nationalism\, Marxism and liberalism as well as broader revolutionary ideas\, Professor Jahanbegloo will talk about how intellectual thought became increasingly radicalised and gave voice to a powerful revolutionary movement that was eventually to lead to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of an Islamic Republic.
