Charis and Agnes Scott College welcome Dr. Mona Tajali in conversation with Dr. Roshan Iqbal for a discussion of Women's Political Representation in Iran and Turkey: Demanding a Seat at the Table. How have women in many Muslim-majority countries been able to achieve surprising success despite the significant constraints imposed by conservative gender ideology and authoritarian political parties and systems? The themes of the book are vital to our understanding of political representation among women in Turkey and Iran, and also hold lessons for our own lack of representation in the United States. This event is co-sponsored by the Agnes Scott College Middle East Studies, Human Rights, Political Science, Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies, and International Relations Departments. 

*Reception begins at 6:30, talk begins at 7:30.
