Amid allegations that Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won
re-election through fraud, massive protests continue in Tehran and
other Iranian cities on a scale not seen since the revolution in 1979.
While expressing concerns over these events, the Obama administration
has indicated an intention to continue its attempt at dialogue with
Iran.
Join us as the Asia Society brings together two leading Iran experts to
take a closer look at what's happening in Iran and what it all means.
How should we assess the outcome and aftermath of Iran’s presidential
election? Has Iran entered an entirely new phase of its
post-revolutionary history? How will these developments impact
President Obama’s efforts to engage the country and US-Iran relations
more broadly?
Speakers:
- Farideh Farhi, independent scholar and affiliate graduate faculty, University of Hawaii at Manao
- Arang Keshavarzian, Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies,
New York University (he was in Iran for the presidential election and
its immediate aftermath)
- Suzanne DiMaggio, Director of Policy Studies, Asia Society (moderator)
Please note: this event will also be a free live video webcast from
6:30 to 8:00 pm on www.AsiaSociety.org. Online viewers are encouraged
