The Iranian Uprising (Almost) No One Is Talking About

<p>This week, Eric Kohn, Dan Hugger, and Dylan Pahman discuss the protests in Iran over the death of a 22-year-old woman who had been arrested for improperly covering her head. Why isn’t there more media coverage of these protests after five weeks? Is the Iranian regime actually in danger? And what, if anything, should countries like the United States being doing to encourage these human rights protesters? Then the guys examine a new study from the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology on the striking lack of intellectual diversity on elite college campuses. Should we be surprised that places like Harvard, Yale, and Smith College are so unrepresentative? Should we even expect them to be?</p><br><p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/iran-protests-spread-with-uprising-at-prison-11665932021" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iran Protests Spread With Uprising at Prison | Wall Street Journal</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/av/63132235" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mahsa Amini: How one woman's death sparked Iran protests | BBC</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.cspicenter.com/p/diverse-and-divided-a-political-demography" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Diverse and Divided: A Political Demography of American Elite Students | CSPI</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
