The Boston Forum on the Middle East, BU Center for International Relations and the Department of International Relations are pleased to present a public lecture with Dr. Ali Banuazizi.
The election of President Obama created some hope that the United States could begin a new policy of engagement with Iran. However, recent developments regarding Iran's nuclear program and protests following the recent Iranian election have made such engagement less likely. Both international sanctions and military confrontation have been considered as possible responses. Dr. Banuazizi will evaluate the current situation and how this may affect future U.S.-Iranian relations.
Ali Banuazizi is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Program in Islamic Civilization and Societies at Boston College. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University and has taught at Boston College since 1971. Professor Banuazizi served as the editor of the Journal of Iranian Studies (1968-1982)and the President of the International Society for Iranian Studies (ISIS) and of the Middle East Studies Association (MESA). He was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations' Task Force on
Public Diplomacy. He is the author or editor of several books and numerous articles on politics, culture, and society in Iran, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
