6:30 AM New York l 12:30 PM ViennaDespite 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.
