A Community-Engaged Approach to Community Health Needs and Assets Assessment for Public Health Research
The Morehouse School of Medicine Prevention Research Center (MSM-PRC) conducted a Community Health Needs and Assets Assessment (CHNAA) survey using a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. In this article, we will demonstrate the application of CBPR in informing research agenda and implementation strategies. We will discuss the practical considerations and potential benefits of engaging the community in data collection, interpret…
Exploring Patronage, Genre, and Scholar-Bureaucracy
This paper examines the life, career, and patronage of the great statesman and historian, Ghiyath al-Dīn Ḫvāndamīr. Ḫvāndamīr lived and worked during a dynamic period of early modern Islamic history, marking the terminus of the great Timurid empire and the genesis of no less than three major polities in Iran, Central Asia, and South Asia: the Safavids, the Uzbeks, and the Mughals. During the first three decades of the sixteenth century, Ḫvāndamīr…
Barry Wood, The Adventures of Shāh Esmāʿīl. A Seventeenth-Century Persian Popular Romance
At some point in the 17th century, coffeehouses in Esfahan and other major Iranian cities became known venues to hear professional storytellers (naqqālān). Here, popular stories from well-known epics poems like the Shāh nāmeh were recited, but other oral epics grew in popularity as well. One in particular was based on the exploits of the Safavid dynastic founder, Shah Esmāʿīl (r. 1501-24), and in this regard, Barry Wood’s publication of The Adven…

İlker Evrim Binbaş. Intellectual Networks in Timurid Iran
One does not lightly foray into the field of Timurid studies. While we might talk nonchalantly of a “Timurid Empire,” what constituted Timurid dominion was in fact an ever-shifting patchwork of princely appanages in Iran and Central Asia that grew in number and direct competition with each other after Timur (Tamerlane) died in 1405. To complicate matters, ethnic, religious, linguistic, and cultural landscapes in this dominion were likewise numero…
The evolution of withdrawal
The right to withdraw from research, along with the necessity of adequately informed consent, is at the heart of the post-Nuremburg code of ethical safeguards in biomedical research on human participants. As biomedical research moves away from direct interventional studies towards research using networks of linked human tissue samples and data, however, questions arise about what withdrawal can and should mean in these new contexts. Some of the m…
The Practice of Politics in Safavid Iran
The Safavid dynasty originated as a fledgling apocalyptic mystical movement based in Iranian Azarbaijan, and grew into a large, cosmopolitan Irano-Islamic empire stretching from Baghdad to Herat. Here Colin Mitchell examines how the Safavid state introduced and moulded a unique and vibrant political discourse which reflected the social and religious heterogeneity of sixteenth-century Iran. Beginning with the millenarian-minded Shah Isma'il and co…
Provincial Chancelleries and Local Lines of Authority in Sixteenth-Century Safavid Iran
Excellence and Precedence
This volume focuses on how legitimate leadership came to be defined in the formative period of Islam in terms of two key Qur'anic concepts: moral excellence (fadl/fadila) and precedence (sabiqa). These two concepts undergirded a specific discourse on leadership which developed in the first century of Islam. This discourse is reconstructed through careful scrutiny of the manaqib literature in particular, which contains detailed accounts of the exc…
To Preserve and Protect
It is Generally Agreed that the Beginning of the Persian Literary Renaissance of the tenth–eleventh centuries was concomitant with the emergence of a bureaucratic tradition that had its roots in pre-Islamic Sasanian Iran. The avatars of these bureaucratic principles in medieval Perso-Islamic history—Nizam al-Mulk, Rashid al-Din, Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, to name the most famous—were trained in Arabic and Persian, wrote scholarly treatises on a wide a…

Shāh ‘Abbās, the English East India Company and the Cannoneers of Fārs
To nineteenth and early twentieth-century scholarship, the early modern expansion of powers like Spain, Portugal, England and Holland, was a necessary preliminary step towards Europe's ultimate domination of the Asian and African continents. Moreover, the relative ease with which colonial powers manhandled regions like North Africa and the Indo-Pak subcontinent suggested that their early modern ‘pioneering’ counterparts must have shared similar e…
Political and Economic Significance of the Korean War
brief statement is based on several assumptions with regard to the future. First: The present UN police action in South Korea is war, but not World War III with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union will continue to give whatever material and training aid it can to North Korea, but will not enter actively the fighting. As far as the U.S. Intelligence has reported, only one Russian has yet been found in any airplane, in any tank, in any group of pris…
