A conference will be held on the historical and cultural connections between Iran, India and Central Asia, at Pembroke College, Cambridge, on 15-17 December 2014. The conference has several interlocking aims, with the overall purpose of stimulating research in an area that is unduly neglected in the UK and in doing so, to bring together scholars working in different fields that are usually studied in isolation. The programme consists of 22 presentations, spread over two and a half days. For abstracts, biographies and to register, see our website: bips.ac.uk/from-timur-to-nadir-shah/. The conference is organised, in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies and the Shahnama Centre for Persian Studies at the University of Cambridge, under the auspices of the programme “Empire and Authority” that makes up one of the three research themes currently sponsored by the British Institute of Persian Studies.
