Athenian democracy 2,500 years ago allowed free men, not women and not slaves, the right to vote. Over two thousand years later, the American revolution resulted in free men, not women and not slaves, gaining the right to vote. Major revolutions, including in Iran and those of the Arab Spring, typically replace one dictator with another, rather than move societies toward actualized democracy. Why is political change toward democracy so difficult to achieve? This discussion focuses on what I call political plasticity, the ability to change (or not change) social relations when structures change. I examine the psychological foundations of political plasticity, both inside and outside individuals. The point of departure for this discussion is four recent books: The Psychology of Dictatorship (2013), The Psychology of Democracy (2016), The Psychology of Radical Social Change: From Rage to Revolution (2018), and Threat to Democracy: The Appeal of Authoritarianism in an Age of Uncertainty (2019).

Dr. Moghaddam was born in Iran, educated from an early age in England, and returned to Iran with the revolution in 1979. He was researching and teaching in Iran during the hostage taking crisis and the first three years of the Iran-Iraq War. After work for the United Nations, he researched and taught at McGill University, Canada, from 1984, before moving to Georgetown in 1990.

This presentation explores the role of women in the Green Uprising in Iran in 2009 and how their widespread involvement brought to the fore some of the contradictions in the Islamic Republic of Iran. From the speeches of the main opposition candidate’s wife, Dr. Zahra Rahnavard, and the “poster girl” of the uprising, Neda Agha Soltan, to the never-ending debate over the mandated veiling of women, their presence and leadership during the uprising highlights the limits of their state-sponsored empowerment, and their struggle for more.
pouya-alimaghamPouya Alimagham is a historian of the modern Middle East at MIT. His dissertation, titled: “Contesting the Iranian Revolution: The Green Uprising,” was the 2016 winner of the Association for Iranian Studies’ Mehrdad Mashayekhi Dissertation Award, which is presented biannually. The manuscript was published in expanded form with Cambridge University Press in 2020. His other articles and book chapters cover the Arab Spring, Iranian protest music, women in Middle East revolutions, sectarianism, and the psycho-history of post-9/11 discourse. He teaches courses on the modern Middle East, the early Islamic period, and in the fall of 2018, he instituted and taught for the first time, “Modern Iran: A Century of Revolution.” In the spring of 2019, MIT’s School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (SHASS) awarded him the Levitan Teaching Award—an award that was the result of a student-initiated process.

چین چه دورنمائی برای آینده کشورش طراحی می کند؟ جایگاه بالقوه ایران در آن چیست؟
از خرداد ۱۳۹۹ که سند راهبردی ایران و چین منتشر شد، سندی که کمی پس از نوروز ۱۴۰۰ در تهران امضأ شد، این پرسش به وجود آمده که آیا چرخشی قطعی به سوی چین در شرف تکوین است و اگر چنین است عاقبت آن چه خواهد بود؟ این پرسش پیچیده ای است و باید آن را به چند جزء تفکیک کرد که بتوان پاسخ معتبری برای آن یافت.
در این گفتگو می خواهیم به درک روشن تری از جهت گیری استراتژیک چین و نقشی که از دیدگاه چین ایران ممکن است در این راستا ایفا کند برسیم. بررسی این جنبه برای پاسخ به پرسش اصلی که “چه آینده ای برای رابطهٔ ایران و چین قابل تصور است” ضروری است، اما کافی نیست.
رویکرد ایران به چین نیم دیگر مسئله است که به عوامل متعددی منجمله رابطه ایران با آمریکا بستگی دارد. این جنبه مستلزم بررسی جداگانه ای است و موضوع صحبت ما نیست. تمرکز ما بر درک انگیزه چین که از حرکت تاریخی و اقدامات فعلی اش می توان استنتاج کرد خواهد بود، به ویژه ــ چرا چین در شرف گسترش در مقیاس جهانی است؟ چرا نفوذ در حوزهٔ دریای مدیترانه برای چین حائز اهمیت است؟ و چرا ایران برای راه یافتن به این حوزه کلیدی است؟
یونس جلالی در چین، ژاپن و ویتنام زندگی کرده است و سابقا در دانشگاه استانفورد استادیار بوده است.
What Path is China Carving for its Future and Where Does Iran Fit in that Picture?
Since the release of the Iran-China strategic blueprint in June 2020, a document that was later signed in Tehran in March 2021, the question of “where is the Iran-China relationship headed?” has gained much traction. In this talk we would like to focus on the China side of this question and better understand what China is after in Iran, as like all big powers China does not divulge its intent explicitly and this has to be inferred from its actions.
Admittedly this is only half of the question in terms of what the future holds for this relationship, the other half of how Iran may engage with it is dependent on a number of factors including the Iran-US relationship and how it shall evolve. This aspect requires a separate elaboration and won’t be dealt with in this talk.
We will focus on China’s ambitions and what motivates it, namely — what compels China to expand globally, why Eurasia is central to China’s vision of its future, why the Mediterranean basin is critical to this vision, and why Iran is a critical plank for gaining a foothold in this basin.
Younes Jalali has lived in China, Japan and Vietnam and was formerly Assistant Prof. at Stanford Univ.

The Great Terror in the Soviet Union began in early 1930s. It not only affected hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens, but also tens of thousands of foreign political activists as well as non-political migrants sheltering and working on Soviet soil.
By exploiting the memoirs of labour camp survivors as well as newly released materials from former Soviet archives, especially the minutes of prisoner interrogations and transcripts of their trials, this study aims to present a detailed picture of the life and times of the Iranian community in the Soviet Union during the 1930s and 1940s.

Lecture and Q&A in Persian
prof-touraj-atabakiTouraj Atabaki is Research Fellow at the International Institute of Social History and Emeritus Professor of Social History of the Middle East and Central Asia at Leiden University.
He studied first theoretical physics and then history in Birckbeck College, University of London and then had his PhD in 1991 from University of Utrecht. Atabaki worked at Utrecht University, University of Amsterdam and Leiden University where he held the Chair of Social History of the Middle East and Central Asia. Atabaki’s earlier research interest encompassed historiography, ethnic studies and the practice of authoritarianism in Iran, the Ottoman/Turkey and everyday Stalinism in the Soviet Central Asia and the Caucasus. However, in the last ten years his research interest has focused more on the labour history and the history of work and has coordinated a project on the hundred years’ social history of labour in the Iranian oil industry, funded by the Netherlands Organisation for scientific Research. Touraj Atabaki has written extensively on the nineteenth- twentieth century history of Iran, Turkey, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Atabaki has published twenty books and numerous articles and book chapters. His latest books are:
– Social History of the Iranian oil Industry (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, forthcoming).
– Victims of Their Faith. The Lives and Fates of Iranian Political Activists and Migrant Workers in the Interwar Soviet Union. Co-author Lana Ravandi Fadaii (Moscow: Russian Academy of Sciences, 2020) Second Edition.
– Working for Oil. Co-editors Elisabetta Bini, Kaveh Ehsani (London: Palgarve Macmillan, 2018)
