Gorter Professor of Islamic World Studies and Professor of Sociology Ahmad Sadri was interviewed on campus last week by China Global TV Network: CGTV America.
Sadri, a frequent media commentator on Middle Eastern affairs, has been interviewed by other news outlets like CBS News and ABC, and has written for Al Jazeera and Asia Times.
An author and translator of multiple books, his recent work includes a translation of the Shahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kings, released in March 2025.

The interview took place in Calvin Durand Hall in the Mohr Student Center. Also known as the Wood Lounge, the space provides a collegiate backdrop for broadcast media filming an interview with a faculty member on their area of expertise.
