research paper (4.5 pages), The research paper should address a topic of your choice which deals with a specific aspect of Baha’i culture and history in Iran. The topic of your research paper is decided by you but if you are not sure you are welcome to consult with me. This is a research paper and therefore you need to go beyond the course readings and lectures. It is always better to have a specific topic. Sources should be adequately cited but any citation format is acceptable. Your paper must be accurate in terms of spelling and grammar.

In addition to books and articles you find in the library, the following website is a good place to search for materials regarding your paper: https://bahai-library.com/
