Talinn Grigor received her Ph.D. from MIT in 2005 and will become an Assistant Professor of non-western architecture at the Art History Department of Florida State University, starting in fall 2006. Entitled "Cultivat(ing) Modernities: the Society for National Heritage. Political Propaganda, and Public Architecture in Twentieth-Century Iran." Her dissertation is in the process of revision for publication. Her works on modern Iranian architecture have appeared in Third Text, Future Anterior, Thresholds, ARRIS, and the Journal of Iranian Studies. Her forthcoming article in the Art Bulletin deals with her next project on the turn-of-the-century European art-historiography and its connections to the late 19th- and early 20th-century eclecticism of Qajar architecture.
