Behrooz Ghamini-Tabrizi and Princeton University’s Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies invited me to give a brief talk about Showpiece City.
Professor Ghamini-Tabrizi invited Pamela Karimi, architectural historian and associate professor at UMass Dartmouth to provide a response. She gave a thorough, critical, and generous take on the book.
