Book of Unveiling

Part of promoting publications from the Institute of Ismaili Studies involves interviewing authors and researchers. More than the typical, speaking-to-camera interviews the Institute had previously published, I wanted to create an interview that was engaging to audiences that would otherwise be unfamiliar with the book. This involved two things on my part as the interviewer:

1. Eliciting an emotional response from the author so audiences can engage empathetically with the subject matter

2. Researching the subject matter in-depth to provide context around the book to the audience instead of (what was traditionally done) simply summarising the book’s content.
