The Iranian Ethnomusicology Network is a community dedicated to connecting scholars and students both inside and outside of Iran who are engaged in the study of Iranian music. Our goal is to foster collaboration and exchange within the field of ethnomusicology by providing a platform for sharing knowledge, resources, and research. We organize a range of activities, including talks, presentations, workshops, and reading groups, aimed at advancing the academic study of Iranian music. Through these initiatives, we strive to introduce and share valuable academic resources, facilitating intellectual growth and professional development within the community.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
Armaghan is a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research, Sounding Port-Oil Encounters: Music, Memory, and Infrastructure on the Persian Gulf Coast, Iran<\/em>, explores how port and oil infrastructures have shaped the musical traditions and sonic memories of Iran\u2019s Persian Gulf cities. Through ethnographic fieldwork in Bushehr, Abadan, and Khorramshahr, it examines how music reflects legacies of war, migration, cosmopolitanism, and Black slavery, situating these traditions within the Indian Ocean world. Before pursuing her PhD, Armaghan earned an MA in ethnomusicology from the Tehran University of Arts. Her dissertation analyzed the revival of Iranian folk music in relation to socio-political movements before and after the Islamic Revolution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
