Iranian and Iranian American Feminists Discuss the U.S. /Israel attacks on Iran

This Monday on KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine Lisa Dettmer talks to 3 Iranian and Iranian American scholars and activists to get an Iranian feminist perspective on the U.S. attack on Iran to help us better understand what a feminist response to Iran is. We talk to Iranian graduate student, playwright and cartoonist Sepehr Jafari who was active in anti-regime protests in Iran between 2015 and 2020. We also talk to Asma Adbi, an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Exeter, whose research focuses on social reproduction, gender, and the political economy of war and sanctions, with a focus mostly on Iran. And we have joining us Manijeh Moradian, who is assistant professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College. She is a founding member of the Raha Iranian Feminist Collective and a member of Feminists for Jina, a global network which formed in fall 2022 to support the women, life, freedom uprising in Iran.
