Alumni Hall, Trustees Room
"Religious Minorities in Contemporary Iran: The Politics of Tolerance and Intolerance"
In discussions of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s regime imposing fundamentalist rules upon Iranians in general, the impact on religious minorities is largely overlooked. Focus on them usually has been as quaint, minuscule, communities with tenacious customs and traditions, rather than as modern peoples caught up in turbulent times.
This topic will examine the present-day situations of Iranian Baha’is, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and others vis-à-vis the beliefs, laws, practices, and politics of the Shi‘ite nation state.
Friday
