The Society for Iranian Anthropology (SIRA) for a year will function as an international online community. The society will be registered as a non-political and non-governmental association, with the aim of increasing academic knowledge of the Anthropology of Iran and of Persianate Societies.
SIRA will be an international forum of academics, students and professionals, concerned not only with anthropology and all of its sub-fields, but also bringing together folklorists, theologians, art historians, historians and archaeologists.

Through the creation of different online forums, we aim to facilitate contact between members, to enable them to share their skills, knowledge, experience and resources. Through the use of online forums, chat rooms and debates, it is hoped that SIRA will be able to encourage and promote discussion amongst participants.

SIRA will be a network of individuals from various institutions. We thus hope to connect anthropologists and scholars who work on Iran itself, in addition to all of the countries where we can find the traces of Iranian Culture.

We hope, moreover, with the help of non-Iranian academic institutions and scholars and their research facilities, to create a forum where students and young researcher may connect with the more established scientific community in the field.
