| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Along with its rapid economic growth in the 1990s, Iran began to experience serious environmental problems, such as air pollution and water shortage. Consequently, both governmental and non-governmental institutions have embarked on numerous environmental projects that involve a variety of individuals from environmental experts, government officials, researchers, students, to non-expert citizens, among others. This study looks at emerging discourses and practices of the environment in Iran and examines socio-cultural implications of environmental problems that now crucially shape the course of Iranian society. My findings suggest that seemingly disparate discourses of the environment in the country --- in particular, those of modern science, nationalism, and Islam --- are indeed deemed compatible and are developing in ways that reflect the contingent historical contexts of contemporary Iran.
