Iran & the Left: A Dialogue

In These Times & openDemocracy present Iran & the Left, a dialogue with Janet Afary, President, International Society for Iranian Studies and author of Foucault and the Iranian Revolution: Gender and the Seductions of Islamism, Nader Hashemi, Member, International Society for Iranian Studies’ Committee for Academic & Intellectual Freedom, Danny Postel, Senior Editor of openDemocracy and author of Reading Legitimation Crisis in Tehran: Iran and the Future of Liberalism, and Christopher Hayes, Senior Editor of In These Times and contributing writer for The Nation.

Where does the Left stand on Iran? While crystal clear about our opposition to US intervention, where do we stand, if anywhere, on the internal situation in Iran today? Where do Iranian feminists, dissident intellectuals, and human rights activists figure in our thinking? Where should they figure? What do they want from us? Are we listening? Why are so many progressives confused about these questions?
