Field notes

The institute’s public structure combines an academic directory with an event and media archive: visitors can move from research and publications to affiliated faculty, graduate students, scholars, and postdoctoral fellows. Its homepage also points to lecture recordings, podcasts, and livestreamed events, including sessions on Bukhara, Arsacid princes, and Hunnic philhellenism. A graduate fellowship in Zoroastrian Studies is among the current news items.
