Forum on Iran
Social Room at the Beneficent Church
300 Weybosset Street
Providence, RI
The forum features an outstanding panel of speakers on Iran. One is Dr. Kaveh Afrasiabi, the author of numerous books and articles on Iran, including his forthcoming book Iran Foreign Policy after September 11, which he co-authored with Abbas Maliki. Dr. Afrasiabi is currently at the Paris Institute for Strategic Studies and serves on the Board of Advisors of CASMII (Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran.) He will be speaking on the culture of Iran and the current political thinking and attitudes of the Iranian people.Dr. Jo-Anne Hart, a visiting professor at the Watson Institute at Brown University, whose area of expertise includes US strategy in the Middle East, will talk about the political implications of an attack against Iran. Dr. Hart was featured on MSNBC’s Hardball where she faced off against John Bolton on the consequences of a “limited” attack on Iran. Michael Jackson, a researcher at Brown and professor of political science at Stonehill College, will give the audience an overview of the history of the ancient country of Persia, now known as Iran.
Given the increasingly hostile rhetoric against Iran coming from the Bush Administration, the topic is a particularly timely one. There will be an opportunity for questions and discussion after the presentations. The forum is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
