Why Do We "Care?" Roots and Consequences of the Feminist Revolution in Iran

Monday, March 27, 2023
6:30 am – 7:30 am EDT/GMT-4 
6:30 AM New York l 12:30 PM Vienna

Despite its uniqueness and unpredictability, the current Jin Jiyan Azadi revolution in Iran is not born out of a void. The Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice lecture series continues with a talk by Firoozeh Farvardin, a feminist activist and scholar, who will address the historical contexts of political discontent and mobilizations against gender/sexual politics of the Islamic Republic in the past four decades. She will also discuss the meanings and implications of calling the revolutionary movement in Iran a feminist revolution. Participants will be invited to think about the implications and long-term impacts of the Jin Jiyan Azadi revolution on transnational feminist struggles.

Firoozeh Farvardin is a feminist activist/scholar based in Berlin. She is currently a postdoc fellow of IRGAC (International Research Group on Authoritarianism and Counter-strategies), Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, where she is working on gender/sexual (counter) strategies of authoritarian neoliberalism in Iran. She is also an affiliated researcher at MERGE (Middle East and Migration Research Network) and a former guest lecturer at the Berlin Institute for Integration and Migration Research (BIM), Humboldt University of Berlin.

This event is part of an OSUN series dedicated to Gender Equity Month. See the full calendar of events here.
