Salam from Iran!

For Episode 8, we had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Parsa on her experiences of women in Iran. Dr. Parsa has spent the last 35 years specializing in civil movements and democratic ideologies in Iran, particularly focusing on the important role that women play in these movements.

We managed to pack extremely important topics into less than an hour’s recording ranging from the position that women hold in Iranian society, the islamic revolution, women’s activism, as well as ideas for creating a more democratic future for the country.

For anyone interested in Iran, the Middle East or the Arab World in general, this episode will be an absorbing dive into the topic with a true subject matter expert! We are extremely thankful to Dr. Parsa for her time and insights.
