WOMUSIRAN investigates links between gender, Islam, migration and cultural appropriation, through the prism of Western art music in Iran. It traces the fate of female composers, teachers, scholars and practitioners, whose work and careers fell victim to the 1979 Revolution and to the subsequent tightened controls on women and music-making. The project presents a bottom-up history of the role of those pioneering female musicians in shaping Iran's cultural policies, impacting post-1979 diasporic communities, and contributing to present-day possibilities for women in Iran's re-emergent musical and cultural life. WOMUSIRAN resonates stronglywith the current situation in Afghanistan.The project's objectives are to undertake a critical and contextual assessment of primary and secondary sources, to construct an oral history of key female musicians in Iran and diasporic communities, and to conduct comparative and contextual assessment of works by the case-study musicians. A further objective will be to locate these case studies within the frame of Intangible Cultural Heritage. These objectives will be achieved through an interdisciplinary methodology that draws on (ethno-)musicology, migration, gender and feminist studies, area studies and human rights, drawing on interviews, testimonies and archival material, alongside textual and musical assessment.The project will be carried out at the world-leading Centre for Iranian Studies at the University of Toronto (outgoing phase) and at the Music Department of King's College, London (return phase), with a two-month secondment at Silkroad (Boston) and a six-month placement at the Maison des Cultures du Monde (Paris). The outcome will be intersectoral, breaking down boundaries between academics and practitioners, enabling diasporic musicians to reconnect with their roots, giving a voice to a new generation of female and LGBTQ+ musicians, and creating channels of communication between those in Iran and the diaspora.

WOMUSIRAN 通过伊朗西方艺术音乐的棱镜调查性别、伊斯兰教、移民和文化挪用之间的联系。它追溯了女性作曲家、教师、学者和从业者的命运，她们的工作和职业生涯成为 1979 年革命以及随后对女性和音乐创作加强控制的受害者。该项目自下而上地讲述了这些先驱女性音乐家在制定伊朗文化政策、影响 1979 年后侨民社区以及为当今伊朗重新崛起的音乐和文化生活中的女性提供可能性方面所发挥的作用。 WOMUSIRAN 与阿富汗的现状产生了强烈共鸣。该项目的目标是对主要和次要来源进行批判性和情境评估，构建伊朗和侨民社区主要女性音乐家的口述历史，并对作品进行比较和情境评估由案例研究音乐家。进一步的目标是将这些案例研究置于非物质文化遗产的框架内。这些目标将通过跨学科方法来实现，该方法借鉴（民族）音乐学、移民、性别和女权主义研究、地区研究和人权，利用访谈、证词和档案材料，以及文本和音乐评估。该项目将在世界领先的多伦多大学伊朗研究中心（出站阶段）和伦敦国王学院音乐系（回程阶段）进行，并在丝绸之路借调了两个月（波士顿）和世界文化之家（巴黎）为期六个月的实习。成果将是跨部门的，打破学术界和从业者之间的界限，使散居国外的音乐家能够重新与自己的根源建立联系，为新一代女性和 LGBTQ+ 音乐家提供发言权，并在伊朗和散居国外的音乐家之间建立沟通渠道。
