Today is Persian Poetry and Literature Day, a celebration of a literary tradition whose lessons in compassion feel urgently relevant in an age of war, division and dehumanisation.

Saadi reminds us that our humanity is bound together

#AcademicSky I think that was a success as I got the feedback that they really enjoyed reading excerpts from Shahname and comparing it to Iliad! I enjoyed teaching them.

#AcademicSky Teaching comparative literature for the first time. A little bit stressed out but also feeling good reading this book!
For epic, comparing excerpts from Homer's Iliad with Ferdowsi's Shahnameh! Apparently, knowing other languages besides English comes in handy!

I used Gabriel's Horn, one of mathematics' most fascinating paradoxes, to argue that intuition alone cannot solve every problem. Some truths require rigorous reasoning and the willingness to question what seems obvious.
