ToberThis pilot project will allow a young scholar to do preliminary research on the topic of how Afghani refugees in Iran access local health care services. The problem to be addressed is how adherents to a more conservative branch of Islam interact with social services predicated on a more liberal Islamic philosophy. The specific focus of the project will be family planning as part of a package of health promotion and education. The project will be carried out in the city of Isfahan, Iran and in the surrounding countryside, including rural/urban and Afghani/Iranian comparisons. Using participant observation, semi-structured interviews and collecting demographic data from clinic files, the researcher will assess the capability of Islamic philosophy in practice to deal with fundamental cultural differences. The work will contribute to an increased understanding of Islam as a religion and a cultural value system, and will advance our understanding of how refugees in general, from more traditional cultures, adapt to novel settings, opportunities and constraints in more innovative settings. The broader impacts of this research by a Western scholar in Iran are very significant, in making human contacts between societies that have been in an adversarial relationship, and in advancing our understanding of social life in this part of the world.

Tober这个试点项目将允许一位年轻学者就伊朗境内的阿富汗难民如何获得当地医疗服务这一主题进行初步研究。 要解决的问题是，伊斯兰教较保守的分支的信徒如何与以较自由的伊斯兰哲学为基础的社会服务互动。该项目的具体重点将是计划生育，将其作为促进健康和教育一揽子计划的一部分。该项目将在伊朗伊斯法罕市和周围农村进行，包括农村/城市和阿富汗/伊朗的比较。通过参与式观察、半结构化访谈和从诊所档案中收集人口统计数据，研究人员将评估伊斯兰哲学在实践中处理基本文化差异的能力。这项工作将有助于加深对伊斯兰教作为一种宗教和一种文化价值体系的理解，并将增进我们对来自较传统文化的一般难民如何在较创新的环境中适应新的环境、机会和制约因素的理解。一位西方学者在伊朗进行的这项研究产生了广泛的影响，在使处于敌对关系的社会之间建立人类接触方面，以及在促进我们对世界这一地区社会生活的理解方面，都是非常重要的。
