The Department of Art History applauds Hoda Nedaeifar, who recently completed her Ph.D. in Art History.
Dr. Nedaeifar described her dissertation as follows:

My dissertation is entitled Iranian Documentary Photography of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) and Its Artistic Legacies: Discursivity, Institutionalization, and Transfer in the Photographic Medium. In this research project, I explored the development of documentary photography during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, and the impact of those documentary practices on art photography in postwar Iran (1988-2013). Through examining the operation of institutions in charge of image production and their printed materials, including photobooks in the 1980s in Iran, I traced visual representations of war memory across the work of the next generation of Iranian art photographers as they responded to the subject matter of the Iran-Iraq war and its legacy. I demonstrated that through innovative artistic strategies, these responses subvert the official narrative of war while displaying and producing transformations in the collective memory of the war across the generations.
