Iran - interesting lecture tonight
Studium Generale organizes an interesting evening tonight:
State, Religion and Society in Iran
From the Islamic Revolution to the Green Movement
You-tube images filmed on mobile phones globally circulated the graphic assassination of the young student Neda Soltan who rapidly became the face of protest in Iran. Nearly a year after her death, thousands from the ‘Green Movement’ risk military police crack downs and continue to protest in the streets of Tehran against the 2009 Iranian elections and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. How can we understand what is going on in Iran right now? Join Prof. Touraj Atabaki (University of Leiden & International Institute of Social History) to unravel the historically complex dynamics between the state, religion and civil society. What is the Green Movement about and what can explain its emergence, its resilience and its future? From three decades of Islamic Revolution to Khatami and Ahmadinejad – where is Iranian society heading and how will state and religion figure into the future of its youth?

Why Africa did not develop
While you were out, celebrating Queen's Day in Utrecht, Ola stayed in and was thinking about Africa...
She put a comment on Facebook once "one step forward, three steps back" and an African friend replied: "we used to say it's walking of a wise man".
Eureka! This is the reason why Africa is underdeveloped.
What do you think?
