Tuesday March 12
Speaker: Robert Asaadi
Topic: 'State-Society Relations in Iran.'
Summary: Western media representations of Iran often produce the image of a monolithic society in support of the Islamic Republic regime. These accounts fail to capture the significant complexity and diversity of Iranian society. In this lecture I will explore how population demographics, globalization, and domestic political debates help us better understand the tensions between the forces of change and continuity in the Iranian case.
