Dr. Abbas Milani

KANE 210 at 7:00 p.m.
Reception to follow in KANE 225

This event is free and open to the public

Much has been written about the nature of Arab Awakening. Is it a continuation of the Islamic revolution or more akin to the 2009 democratic movement in Iran? Are we already in a post-Khamenei/Khomeini Middle East? Is the Iranian regime strengthened or weakened by the Arab democratic wave?

Dr. Abbas Milani is the Hamid & Christina Moghadam Director of Iranian Studies at Stanford University and a Professor (by courtesy) in the Division of International, Comparative, and Area Studies. He has been one of the founding co-directors of the Iran Democracy Project and a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. His expertise is U.S.-Iran relations as well as Iranian cultural, political, and security issues. Until 1986, he taught at Tehran University’s Faculty of Law and Political Science, where he was also a member of the Board of Directors of the university’s Center for International Relations. After moving to the United States, he was for fourteen years the Chair of the Political Science Department at the Notre Dame de Namur University. For eight years, he was a visiting Research Fellow in University of California, Berkeley’s Middle East Center.
