New Article – A Tree Atop the Mountain

I’m pleased to announce the publication of a new article, part of a special issue in the journal Iran Namag on the topic of Iranian masculinities. It was a great project to be involved with and I’m honored to have been a part of it. To access the article, you can visit its website or download the PDF here.

The Man Inside the Mountain

I’m giving a talk for the Near Eastern Studies Lectures Series tomorrow, in which I’ll be sharing one of my favorite topics from one of my favorite stories, namely the strange and sad case of King Mobad in Vis & Râmin. Looking forward to it!The Man in the Mountain by Cameron Cross 11-2015
