Gender and Politics Through Iranian Cinema

Catalog description

Many have little knowledge about Iran of over 80 million women and men, its culture and political dynamism and its more 3000 years of history and civilization. Unlike other Middle Eastern countries, Iran has never been colonized, although political challenges often have disrupted lives. How women have responded to these challenges and how women’s lives are intersected with politics and political economy is the central focus of this course through cinema and cultural productions.
