Beyon d mere documentation\, photographs also produced and carried meaning\, sha ping and in some cases reinforcing our understanding of history\, culture\ , society and more.\n\nIn this talk\, scholar Sarah Jabbari takes us throu gh her work studying gender representation in photography – what are the gender expectations of a photograph\, and how does it impose it? She achi eves this analysis by drawing parallels between select photographs of Pers ians in Iran and Parsis in India in the 19th century. Most of the selected photographs in Jabbari’s research have been captured by Antoin Sevrugui n in Iran\, and Raja Deen Dayal in the Indian context.\n\nThese photograph ers' approach to documenting their subjects lends itself well to a compara tive understanding that helps trace the spaces\, objects\, and activities of gender in photography. For Jabbari\, the bringing together of these two groups in study\, is also driven by a desire to reimagine their reunion – how can these photographs give us clues that help trace histories of m igration\, and to fill in gaps and moments of shared cultural histories th at define them and what they borrow from each other.
