Dr. Kristin Soraya Batmanghelichi, from The Univeristy of Oslo, will present her recent monograph in which she interrogates how normative ideas of women's bodies in state, religious, and public health discourses have resulted in the female body being deemed as immodest and taboo over the past thirty years. This research greatly benefits those looking at marginalized and under-studied communities in Iran, such as red-light districts and those in temporary marriages. Learn more.
