Forogh Hashabeiky

Forogh Hashabeiky serves as Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Iranian Languages at Uppsala University's Department of Linguistics and Philology, where she maintains an active research profile in Persian linguistics and literature. Her academic work bridges historical and contemporary perspectives on Iranian languages.

Her research focuses on historical linguistics, Persian orthography evolution, and post-revolutionary Persian literature, particularly examining grammatical structures in classical texts and narrative patterns in women's writing. Recent publications demonstrate sustained investigation into New Persian development (16th-18th centuries), sociopolitical influences on language change, and textual analysis of literary anthologies.

Publications reveal consistent specialization across three interconnected domains: (1) grammatical analysis of historical Persian texts including Tārikh-e Beyhaqi and post-classical literature, (2) orthographic reforms between 1850-2000, and (3) typological studies of post-1979 Iranian women's fiction. Her editorial work on Arash journal stories and Shāhnāme conference proceedings highlights commitment to preserving literary heritage.

Professional activities include significant contributions to Encyclopaedia Iranica and development of Swedish-Persian lexicographical resources through LEXIN. While no formal advising roles or research grants are documented in available materials, her extensive publication record demonstrates ongoing scholarly engagement with Persian language evolution across sociohistorical contexts.
