Sadeq Hedayat’s The Blind Owl from a Cognitive Poetics Lens" was delivered via Zoom on April 10, 2021, featuring Leila Sadeghi (PhD in Linguistics, University of Tehran). The talk was presented in Persian. Event details: https://asia.ubc.ca/events/event/inte... Alireza Ahmadian (1981 – 2019) was an enthusiastic researcher, a consummate socio-political analyst, and an opinion leader on foreign policy who nurtured the virtues of diplomatic dialogue and liberal democracy. Alireza was a proud and devoted UBC alumnus, supporter of UBC’s Asian Studies department, and beloved member of Canadian-Iranian Community. UBC’s Asian Studies department renamed this lecture series in his honour in 2019. The Ahmadian family and friends have provided funding to support this series, and this generous gift will see these important academic and community engagement events supported through to the end of the 2025/2026 academic year.
