Professor Nan Fandel teaches communications in Iowa. She is also a journalist who has been an op-ed columnist for theIowa City Press-Citizennewspaper. Also a poet and a Jellaludin Rumi scholar, Professor Fandel lectures throughout the world on the words, teachings, and life of this 13th-century Sufi mystic poet, who today is among the most popular poets. She has co-authored a book in honor of Rumi titled Mystery Box, which will be available in mid-2008.
