Yuhan S - D Vevaina
I am the Bahari Associate Professor of Sasanian Studies in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. I received my M.A. in 2003 and my Ph.D. in 2007 from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University. I was a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow, U.S.A. in 2010. I specialize in the history of Ancient and Late Antique Iran with a general interest in theoretical approaches to the study of Zoroastrianism; the history and development of Zoroastrian hermeneutics; Orientalism and the Insider-Outsider dynamic in the study of religion. I have taught several courses related to Ancient and Late Antique Iran including Old Persian Language and Literature and Middle Persian Language and Literature and Old and Young Avestan Language and Literature, an Introduction to Zoroastrianism and various seminar courses on Zoroastrianism as well as Sasanian and Achaemenid History. I am currently completing a number of articles and have just published a two-book project on Zoroastrian hermeneutics in Late Antiquity published by Harrassowitz Verlag of Wiesbaden, Germany in 2023 and 2024. I am also the co-editor with Michael Stausberg (University of Bergen, Norway) of The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Zoroastrianism, published in 2015 by Wiley Blackwell, U.K.; revised paperback in 2022.
I am currently accepting both masters (MSt) and doctoral (DPhil) students.
