Political Science Department to Host International Human Rights Scholar

An upcoming Department of Political Science lecture features Dr. Delaram Farzaneh, a human rights lawyer and scholar whose research focuses on a range of human rights issues in Iran, particularly women’s rights.

The lecture will take place on Thursday, Nov. 29, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Pappert Lecture Hall in the Bayer Learning Center.

Farzaneh’s new book, Judgeships in Iran: Step Down, You Are a Woman—A Legal Analysis of International Human Rights, is a comprehensive critique of Iran’s gender-based discrimination against women from various perspectives of domestic and comparative law, Islamic jurisprudence and international human rights laws.
