After 9/11, Dr. & Mrs. Khatib, longtime residents of NY, endowed a Chair in Comparative Religious Studies at St. Joseph College. Every year, the position is given to a different scholar to do something creative such as teaching a course, give lecture series, etc. Last year, our own Professor Aminrazavi was the Khatib Chair and was asked to give a weekly lecture series on SHI`ISM IN IRAN with two keynote speeches.
The picture is from one of his keynote lectures.
