Presentation at Columbia University, SIPA

If you are around and have time on Thursday this week, please come to my lunch-time presentation at Columbia University:

"Reform, Youth, and Technology: Observations on the Recent Elections in Iran"
A brown bag discussion with Hossein Derakshan

A prominent Iranian blogger (http://hoder.com), Hossein Derakhshan went to Tehran last June to observe the presidential elections. Aside from the process of the elections and its surprising result, he saw that a new wave of young but realistic reformists is subtly changing the political dynamics both inside and outside the reformist camp in Iran.

Showing pictures and videos he took during the trip, Derakhshan will discuss the signs of this change, and suggest how the world can best help the new movement.
