Biography

edit

Ali Latifiyan was born on December 15, 1968, in Tehran, Iran.[1] His father, Mohammad Hossein Latifiyan, was an employee of Tehran University. This caused him to attend the meetings of great professors of the University of Tehran as a child.[citation needed] His father's grandfather, Heydar Latifiyan, was one of the commanders during World War I (Middle Eastern theatre) in the Persian campaign.[2] He received his diploma in the field of natural sciences from Fatemi High School (one of the best high schools in Tehran in the 1980s).[3] However, due to his interest in political science, he continued his higher studies in this field. He was able to receive his master's degree in two subjects: political science and Islamic studies.[4] After that, he started teaching history, sociology, etc..in Iranian colleges and schools[1][5]

He has published numerous papers and articles. A collection of those works is brought together in a collection called (Naghashi-Koodaki). Most of his works are short and beautiful stories about the history of Iran.[6]

His book, titled "Reviewing the Performance of Intellectuals from 1941 to 1979", investigates such intellectuals as Jalal Al-Ahmad, Abdolkarim Soroush, Ali Shariati, Sadeq Hedayat, Mirzadeh Eshghi, Ahmad Shamlou and... during the time of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (especially during Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh events) pays. This book has been praised and encouraged by Abdolreza Hoshang Mahdavi, Hoshang Moqtader and Abdul Ali Bigdeli (some of the greatest Iranian political scientists).[7]

One of the people who influenced him was his teacher during his studies, Davoud Hermidas-Bavand, who is one of the leaders of National Front of Iran.[8]

He married Poopak NikTalab (daughter of Ahmad NikTalab[9][10]) in 1999.
