The Making of Iranian Modernity brings together a diverse array of scholars from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds and areas of research specialization to celebrate Houchang E. Chehabi, one of the leading scholars in the field of Iranian Studies. Since the 1980s, Chehabi's interdisciplinary body of work has made major contributions both to the study of modern Iran's social and cultural history, as well as to the understanding of Iran's broader political evolution and place in the world. All contributors to this volume have been inspired by Houchang Chehabi's work and have benefited from his mentorship. On the occasion of his retirement, these essays measure his ongoing influence in shaping scholarship and serve as a token of collective gratitude for his contributions.
