SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAS Guest Lecture. The Armenian Woman\, Minoritarian Agency\, and the Making of Iranian Modernity\, 1860–1979
DESCRIPTION:With this book\, Houri Berberian and Talinn Grigor offer the first history of Armenian women in modern Iran. Foregrounding the work of Armenian women's organizations\, the authors trace minoritarian politics and the shifting relationships among doubly minoritized Armenian female subjects\, Iran's central nodes of power\, and the Irano-Armenian patriarchal institutions of church and political parties.\n   \nEngaging broader considerations around modernization\, nationalism\, and feminism\, this book makes a conceptually rich contribution to how we think about the history of women and minoritized peoples. Berberian and Grigor read archival\, textual\, visual\, and oral history sources together and against one another to challenge conventional notions of \"the archive\" and transform silences and absences into audible and visual presences. Understanding minoritarian politics as formulated by women through their various forms of public and intellectual activisms\, this book provides a groundbreaking intervention in Iran's history of modernization\, Armenian diasporic history\, and Iranian and Armenian feminist historiography.\n   \nAUTHOR BIOS\n   \n   Houri Berberian is Professor of History\, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies\, and Director of the Center for Armenian Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. Her research focuses on late nineteenth/early twentieth-century Armenian history\, especially revolutionary movements and women and gender. Her books include *Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland* (2001)\; and the multiple award-winning *Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and the Connected Revolutions in the Russian\, Iranian\, and Ottoman Worlds* (2019)\; and *Reflections of Armenian Identity in History and Historiography* (2018)\, coedited with Touraj Daryaee. Her most recent book\, for which she has received grants from the Persian Heritage Foundation\, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, and the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research\, is *The Armenian Woman\, Minoritarian Agency\, and the Making of Iranian Modernity* (2025)\, coauthored with Talinn Grigor.\n   \n   Talinn Grigor is Professor of Art History in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of California\, Davis. Her research focuses on 18th- to 20th-century architectural and art histories through postcolonial\, race\, feminist\, and critical theories grounded in Iran\, Armeno-Iran\, Armenia\, and Parsi India. Her books include the winner of the Saidi-Sirjani Book Award\, *The Persian Revival* (2021)\, *Contemporary Iranian Art* (2014)\, *Building Iran* (2009)\, and *Persian Kingship and Architecture* (2015)\, coedited with Sussan Babaie. Grigor has received fellowships from the National Gallery of Art\, Getty Research Institute\, Cornell’s Humanities Center\, Princeton’s Persian Center\, MIT’s Aga Khan Program\, SSRC\, and Persian Heritage and Calouste Gulbenkian foundations. Her last book is coauthored with Houri Berberian\, *The Armenian Woman*\, *Minoritarian Agency*\, and the *Making of Iranian Modernity\, 1860–1979 *(2025). Her current book project\, *The Hyphenated Architect*\, examines the pivotal role of ethnically Armenian architects and artists in the proliferation of the Modern Movement in West Asia.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quality Incentives and Upgrading in Uganda’s Coffee Supply Chain (joint with Jie Bai\, Ameet Morjaria\, Russell Morton\, and Yulu Tang)
DESCRIPTION:Quality upgrading to attain export premia is a key development strategy in many low and middle-income countries (LMICs). However\, in many supply chains in LMICs\, producers do not sell directly to the world market\; instead\, they sell through multiple layers of domestic intermediation. We study how these chains of intermediation affect incentives for quality production in the context of the Uganda coffee supply chain. We first map out the supply chain linking farm gate and export gate\, documenting that coffee changes hands\, on average\, two times before reaching export markets. Next\, leveraging high-frequency transaction-level data throughout the supply chain\, including prices and lab quality assessments\, we show that quality premium diminishes upstream. We build a model highlighting two key economic mechanisms that may drive these diminished quality premia upstream. First\, barriers to entry to high-quality intermediation enable greater buyer power in the high-quality segment\; resulting differential markdowns squeeze the quality premium upstream. Second\, both producers and intermediaries engage in quality investments\, with the degree of substitutability of these investments mediating the downstream’s demand for high quality from the upstream. Both mechanisms have distributional implications for farmer surplus\, but only the former dampens aggregate quality production.  To separately quantify the two\, we conduct an experiment that offers randomized coffee production contracts to induce quality-specific demand shocks throughout the supply chain to identify the key cost parameters of our model. We use the estimated model to examine the efficiency implications and distributional consequences of market power and productive substitutability\, as well as how they interact to affect quality production and surplus distribution along the chain. Finally\, we apply the model to investigate policy counterfactuals.
