Join Dr. Azim Nanji, Special Advisor to the Provost of the Aga Khan University, Reza Tabandeh, a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of History at Brock University, and Dr. Michael Chagnon, Curator at the Aga Khan Museum, as they sit down to discuss the life and legacy of Rumi, what people should know about him, how he has impacted Muslim identity, and why we should celebrate the prolific poet. Moderated by Junior Fellow Mohaddesseh Abdolhosseini, the panel will also examine and reflect on one of the objects on display in the exhibition.
