Stanford's Iranian Studies Program covers culture, art, and politics
Established in 2004 and endowed in 2006, the primary focus of the Iranian Studies Program is the interdisciplinary study of modern Iranian society, culture, politics and economy.

It is increasingly important for scholars, policy analysts, and decision-makers in every field to understand the intricacies of modern Iranian society, and the interplay between economics, religions, ideologies, and political cultures that together shape Iran’s character and behavior.

Her death sparked a wave of protests across the country, which turned into an unprecedented women’s movement. One year later, Marjane Satrapi and Abbas Milani discuss her death, the fight for women’s rights in Iran, and the new book "Woman, Life, Freedom" (L ‘Iconoclast). In this book, Marjane Satrapi brought together three specialists: Farid Vahid, political scientist, Jean-Pierre Perrin, acclaimed reporter, Abbas Milani, historian, and seventeen of the greatest cartoonists from Europe, the United States, and Iran to tell the story of this major event for Iran, and for all of us.
The Persian translation of the book is now available for a free download for Iranians inside Iran: https://zan-zendegi-azadi.fr
Marjane Satrapi is the author of "Persepolis," "Embroideries," "Chicken with Plums," and several children’s books. She co-wrote and co-directed the animated feature film version of "Persepolis," which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Since 2006, she has been a film director and script writer. Among other work, she directed "Voices" and "Radioactive." She is currently working on her new film, "Paris Paradis."
Abbas Milani is the director of the Hamid and Christina Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies at Stanford University, and co-director of the Iran Democracy Project and a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. His expertise is U.S.-Iran relations as well as Iranian cultural, political, and security issues. He has published more than twenty books and two hundred articles and book reviews in scholarly magazines, journals, and newspapers.
Sima Sabet hosted the most successful and popular talk show aired on Iran International TV for more than four years. In 2023, the European Parliament invited her to speak on the Iranian uprising, and she has been featured by international media outlets like The Guardian, DW, Voice of America, and more. Prior to her tenure at Iran International TV, Sima worked for the BBC World Service and the United Nations. She holds a PhD in political science.

June 23, 2020
Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani, a member of a family long considered a pillar of the Islamic Republic of Iran, became a prisoner of conscience in that regime and is now a defender of equal rights for women—one of the many fascinating transformations in Iran in recent years. She discusses the evolution and future of the women’s rights movement in Iran. The conversation is live-translated from Persian/Farsi to English.
An active Iranian women’s rights activist, Ms. Rafsanjani was the founder and publisher of Zan—the first publication after the 1979 revolution dedicated to the cause of women—and is acclaimed for her role in preserving women’s athletics from the onslaught of conservative clergy. She earned a Master of Laws degree in international human rights from Birmingham City University. She also served as a member of the Iranian parliament from 1996 to 2000.
**This event is part of the ongoing conversation on the women’s movement in Iran that has been a part of the Stanford Iranian Studies Program since its inception. Conversations with Simin Behbahani, Ziba Mir-Hossaini, Farzaneh Milani, Shahrnush Parsipur, Mahshid Amirshahy, Masih Alinejad, and Jila Baniyaghoob, are just a few of the many voices we have hosted over the years. This important subject will continue to be a part of our programming.
