preparation and funding application from Tehran’s municipality and Behesht-e Zahra cemetery. She

humanities across four countries. Engaging actively with each contributor, she fostered insightful discussions
to align their chapters seamlessly with the book’s overarching themes. With refinement, she ensured a
coherent integration of ideas and unwavering commitment to the central concepts. Beyond editing, Hajar
