The world is undergoing a profound transformation. War is no longer an exception but a renewed political strategy, democracy faces existential threats, and the media, once a force for accountability, has become a battleground for truth. As global powers recalibrate their positions in an increasingly fragmented world, Iran stands at a critical juncture, shaped by both internal struggles and external pressures.
Our conference, Peace, Democracy, and Media, seeks to critically dissect the shifting world order – its ideological fractures, power struggles, and media landscapes – while exploring how these forces converge in the Iranian context both inside Iran and in the diaspora. By bringing together scholars, philosophers, theorists, researchers, and journalists, we aim to move beyond surface narratives and engage in a deep, interdisciplinary interrogation of the forces shaping Iran and the world at large.
- Date: 19 & 20 June
