Upcoming event
MERIP, BRISMES, SeSaMO Iran Event Series
Iran in Context Part II: Politics and Counter-Politics in Contemporary Iran
2 July 2026
17:00-18:30 BST
Online
For our next event, titled Iran in Context Part II: Politics and Counter-Politics in Contemporary Iran, we explore the politics of people’s mobilization and the political cleavages that characterize Iranian society to find out how ordinary people in Iran relate to big and small questions alike. We ask, for instance: can we talk about cultures of the Right and cultures of the Left in Iran? While examining the lines of divisions that cut across Iranian society, we will ask how different forms of mobilization have shaped contemporary Iran.

Speakers:
Mohammad Ali Kadivar (Boston College)
Paniz Musawi Natanzi (University of Bern)
Naghmeh Sohrabi (Brandeis University)
