Well future. I don't know yet.

We're on the fourth one tonight and tonight We will finish with Ali Kadevar He's a sociologist at Boston College son of most in Kadevar a reformist cleric who opposed clerical rule under Muhammad katami say what Ali has written on Iran's reform movement electoral activism and authoritarianism His book argues that prolonged non-violence mobilization builds durable democracy A word salad We're going to look at the actual arguments not guilt by association What assumptions does western academia bring when it reads Iran's opposition When does working inside an authoritarian system create openings and when does it help the system survive What did the green movement and women life freedom actually show about the limits of gradual change and does the framework in his book Hold when the regime system systematically destroys independent organizations and kills dissent We'll also look at the nigh-act question What the available evidence actually shows about overlap or connections and what it doesn't This isn't about inventing affiliations. It's about asking whether These academic frameworks match the reality Iranians are living I'm your host drew and I got my amazing co-host arm on co-hosting We've done the other three in this series tonight. We close it if you're here to examine the arguments Not to protect the assumptions. You're in the right place. Let's get into it. How are we feeling today arm on Hey drew thanks again, and I appreciate everyone coming One last thing I sent a couple of invites to you guys if you're able to grab a mic and even be silent or active speaker It would help us out just to get the space a little more sane I'm going to talk just briefly right now about the whole series and then go into this fourth speaker Adi Kediva I pinned the first three spaces above in in the nest So if you want those are all recorded the first week they had Nagas Bajorli who is a assistant professor in political science at John Hopkins And then week two they had Sina Ozoddi who I believe might be the most The most Close that we need a campaign and strong push against because I think we can replicate what happened to You know fire fire mahadlati fire musavi and fire saidi with fire Ozoddi because he has a lot of holes And also he is more powerful than anyone else on this panel and the the reason for that I'm saying is he's head of Middle Eastern studies at George Washington University Which is you know more than just being a professor Obviously treat a party a lot of people know about that was week three That's important too, but luckily with treat a party there's a lot of eyes, you know Laura Lumer is tweeted and stuff We need to get that same attention about these other guys because Treat has been outed there's been so many Campans against him not that we should ever stop talking about treat or see no I'm just saying we need to talk about the others as well And then that brings us to week four which is in two days at Georgetown this asshole Adi Kadiva and you you mentioned pretty much the um You know like the the key points that I'm going to be talking about in the uh space And just to go over in sections first I'm going to talk about his dad his dad's background how that uh Kind of shaped his uh You know views and then him what he does where he's Teaching and then we're going to end the space talk. I'll probably take a break after the background about him in case anyone has any comments questions and then Part two will be about his book That's a good idea. I like that where we can open it up and people can give their opinions or ask questions I like that idea arman do you guys like that you can give a thumbs up You know, we don't want to overwhelm people. It's a Tuesday night. So I'm I'm with arman's idea here You know he's a co-host. I listen to my co-hosts if you guys give a thumbs up you guys Democracy in action. Okay arman you went out on this one dad ash. I like that idea. Let's do that Right on so before I start first of all those who have a mic if they have any comments or Questions or anything that uh comes to mind But anyone uh speak and then I'll go into um Adi caddy var and most it's actually mohammed adi caddy var but let's say adi caddy var And his father most am caddy var and what you kind of touched on um in his uh time as a reformist jurist during hot time is uh presidency But if anyone has any comments before I start um go ahead. How's everyone doing? Ryan qq azadi ash Excellent guys thanks for the space This small years uh thanks to thanks arman and all the attendees in this space job each show please I'm gonna make our i'm gonna make azadi a co-host because i it's good when we have two co-hosts and azadi brings great energy And he's done a lot so it's my way of thanking him so See real record i want to say i don't know i like okay great okay Good recognize this greatness how about that there you go see azadi. It's like the jersey exchanges that real real recognize real That's real recognize real yeah All right, so i'm gonna get into it so um i named this kind of i mean i i might do the mayday style and post an article too but Uh kind of lacked on that but basically i named this kind of talk that i'm gonna give as adi cady van reformism naiac narratives and the limits of his democratic framework Because there are so many limits to what he's uh proposing So first let's talk about his dad most saying cady van uh use uh she uh the all the allodium i don't know even know how to pronounce that theologian uh philosopher and prominent critic of vela atafari so when he says that he's a uh What you said the sentence of opposed to clerical rule he was just against the um the vela atafari or guardianship of the islamic jurus And he his challenging of it is still was rooted in reformists um You know he he challenged kind of like the montesides or the shadiati the uh the absolute clerical authority so he didn't think that clerics should be powerless But they should be supposedly less powerful powerful this that that's what he proposed Good luck with that and he was a cleric himself he later uh Got unclarex whatever that is chanle le boss And when he came outside of your own
