About the conference
According to the official Iranian calendar, the year 1400 (2021-22) is the end of the fourteenth solar century and the start of a new century. Over the past century, Iran has witnessed numerous major transitions and changes. Fifteen years before the beginning of the fourteenth solar century, the Constitutional Revolution opened a new political horizon for Iranian politics as the country was waking up from its medieval slumber. Despite this critical historical event, the fourteenth century in Iran witnessed deep political crises, challenges and tensions that continued through the rest of the century.
In a series of panels and conversations, the conference will delve into some of these crises, challenges and tensions.
