SOAS is a remarkable institution. Uniquely combining language scholarship, disciplinary expertise and regional focus, it has the largest concentration in Europe of academic staff concerned with Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The work of Almut Hintze, Zartoshty Brothers Professor of Zoroastrianism, and Dr Sarah Stewart, Lecturer in Zoroastrianism on the religion of pre-Islamic Iran, which is still practised by ca. 120,000 individuals world-wide, has actively engaged with different sections of a deeply divided, microscopic religious community.

This has resulted in the endowment of a Chair in Zoroastrianism at SOAS, the only one of its kind world-wide and an annual lecture in memory of a distinguished Zoroastrian (Kutar Memorial Lecture) that is attended by the wider Zoroastrian community in London and beyond.
