For this episode, we were pleased to welcome to Beyond Your News Feed the newest member of the PC Political Science faculty Assistant Professor Sara Hassani. Dr. Hassani joined the faculty last fall after completing her PH.D. at the New School for Social Research. She as a joint appointment in Political Science and Women’s Studies. In our conversation we talked about the courses she has taught so far and her experience so far at PC. We delved deeply into her fascinating research on female self-immolation as a form of political protest in the “Persian Belt”. We also discuss her insights into the current on-going protests in Iran.
