15. ONLINE Webinar “ Making and Remaking Empire in Early Qajar Iran”
with Assef Ashraf British
Institute of Persian Studies (BIPS), 25 September, 2024, 5:00 pm UK Time
In 1722, the Safavid empire collapsed. An empire that ruled for over two centuries, and which in its heyday spanned parts of Central Asia, the Caucasus, and present-day Iran, came to a swift end. The following decades were ones of political turmoil, and it was only with the rise of the Qajars in the 1780s that a level of stability was restored.
This talk, while drawing on a range of sources, will focus on how the Qajars governed their new empire. In doing so, it offers an explanation for how and why Qajar Iran formed out of the cauldron of eighteenth-century unrest, but also hopes to advance our understanding of an understudied but transitional moment in Iranian history.
