  • This issue of Zanco Journal of Human Sciences exemplifies the vital role of interdisciplinary research in understanding complex social, cultural, and political phenomena. The diverse methodological approaches and subject matters represented here contribute significantly to both theoretical discourse and practical applications in their respective fields. At the heart of this issue lies a significant contribution to Kurdish literary and linguistic analysis. From the examination of asymmetric prosody in Salim's poetry to the cognitive-semantic exploration of Mawlawi's work, these studies demonstrate how traditional Kurdish literary forms can be illuminated through modern analytical approaches. The ecofeminist reading of Qubadi Jalizadeh's poetry and the analysis of poetic nationalism particularly exemplify this synthesis of traditional material with contemporary theoretical frameworks. The issue's political and historical studies offer crucial insights into Kurdish regional dynamics, with research spanning from early 20th-century Iranian developments to modern media representation. The examination of The New York Times' coverage of Kurdish issues (1961-1968) provides valuable historical context for understanding contemporary international media relations, while studies of current regional developments, such as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, demonstrate the journal's engagement with pressing contemporary issues. Educational research emerges as another key focus, with studies examining quality assurance systems and innovative teaching methodologies in Kurdish higher education. These papers not only contribute to pedagogical scholarship but also address practical challenges facing educational institutions in the Kurdistan Region. This collection represents a significant step forward in Kurdish studies, demonstrating how regional scholarship can successfully integrate international academic standards while maintaining its distinctive cultural perspective and relevance to local concerns.
