Iran: The Next Chapter

June 1, 2026

15:00-16:00

As turmoil in Iran enters its seventh month, questions about the country's future have taken on new urgency: Could decades of theocratic rule be approaching a turning point? Is democratic change finally possible? And when will the millions of Iranians forced into exile be able to return home? In this timely conversation, Iranian human rights advocates from across disciplines will share firsthand experiences and reflections on the movement for freedom in Iran. Together, they will explore the obstacles to unity, the challenges facing Iranians both inside and outside the country, and what it will take to build a more democratic future.
