DESCRIPTION:How did the Iranian Constitutional Revolution and the Ottoman 
 Tanzimat reforms reshape slavery across the Indian Ocean\, Mediterranean\,
  and Middle East?\nThis talk by Behnaz Mirzai\, Professor of Middle Easter
 n History at Brock University\, examines the shared origins of Qajar Iran 
 and the Ottoman Empire—neighboring states with parallel political and cu
 ltural structures\, including similar slavery systems. It shows how enslav
 ed Africans faced capture\, transport\, and major identity shifts\, and ho
 w Ottoman Tanzimat reforms inspired Qajar officials and revolutionaries to
  pursue abolitionist policies. Through the story of Mahboob Qirvanian\, an
  enslaved African later freed by Constitutional Revolution leaders\, the t
 alk highlights both the human experience of Africa–Asia slavery and the 
 political changes that reshaped it.\nThe event ends with a screening of Pr
 of. Mirzai’s award-winning documentary Afro-Iranian Lives.
