Born in Iran, Mina Yazdani was a medical student at Shiraz University when the Islamic Revolution broke out in 1979. She was dismissed from the university in 1981, during the Cultural Revolution, because of her Baha’i faith. She then studied via correspondence with Indiana University and earned her Bachelor of General Studies degree.

In 2004 She moved to Canada where she received an MA in Religion and Culture from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, and subsequently, her PhD from the Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto. Her PhD dissertation is titled “Religious Contentions in Modern Iran, 1881-1941.”

She is currently an Assistant Professor of history at Eastern Kentucky University. Among her publications are a monograph dealing with the social history of the Qajar period in Persian, as well as a number of articles including, “The Confessions of Dolgoruki: Fiction and Masternarrative in Twentieth-Century Iran,” Irani-an Studies, vol. 44, no.1 (January 2011): 25-47.
