About the speakers
After a brief introduction from the book's three co-editors, Jenny Rose, Sarah Stewart and Albert de Jong, several of the contributors will discuss their contributions to the volume. Their talks will span a wide range of topics, from the artist behind the book's cover and perceptions of Zoroastrianism in the ancient world, to the challenges facing Zoroastrian communities today in Iran, India and the wider diaspora, concluding with a spotlight on the history of Parsi cricket.
