Mahroo Moosavi

Mahroo Moosavi is Bahari Fellow in the Persian Arts of the Book at the Bodleian Libraries, Oliver Smithies Lecturer at Balliol College, University of Oxford, and Lecturer in architectural history at the University of Sydney. Her research is concerned with the intertext of art/architecture and poetry/prose, with a particular focus on the early modern Iran, through an interdisciplinary study of art/architectural history, literature, and post-structuralist philosophy. Her current project analyses the interpretations of form and structure of rhetorical devices in the chancellery writings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Iran to discern possible resonances within the artistic and urban system of the new city of Isfahan. Mahroo Moosavi is an honorary ONGC fellow.
