EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST: A FREE LECTURE SERIES AT ROSE SCHNITZER MANOR

Cedar Sinai Park cordially invites you to join our Rose Schnitzer Manor residents for a timely lecture series focusing on the Middle East. On March 12 Lewis and Clark College Professor Robert Asaadi will speak on “State-Society Relations in Iran.” Western media representations of Iron 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.
