from the National University of Iran in the field of Political and

Social Science with an emphasis on Islamic studies in

1978. Bazaei obtained his Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science

from University of California at Santa Barbara in 1991 (in

conjunction with UC Berkeley) with strong emphasis on the religious

studies and Islamic theology, history, and civilization. He has been

teaching, lecturing, and conducting research on the subjects of

"Islam and political development, " "Classical and modern Islamic

Political Thought," "Comparative Religions and Judeo-Christian and

Islamic Theology," and sociology of religion at the University of

California and other institutions. Dr. Bazaei is also a speaker and lecturer at the IMAN Foundation.

Inspired by the songs of Bob Dylan and the guitar styling of Mark Knopfler, singer/songwriter and guitarist Arash Sobhani leads Persian band Kiosk. Hailed for its political yet humorous Farsi lyrics, the blues/rock/jazz band takes aim at cultural and economic trends in contemporary Iranian society.
