Edited by Maurice A. Pomerantz and Evelyn Birge Vitz
Published by NYU Press, 2017
Related to the Courts and Performance in the Premodern Middle East conference convened by Maurice Pomerantz and Evelyn Birge Vitz in February 2012

This insightful, exploratory collection of essays uncovers surprising commonalities across a broad swath of cultures.

Published by NYU Press, 2016
Related to the Moments of Silence: The Authentic Literary Narratives of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) conference convened by Mohammad Mehdi Khorrami and Shouleh Vatanabadi in March 2011
