Last night Julia Hanna and I had the great privilege and pleasure of interviewing Esmat Babaii, an Iranian academician and author.
Some of the topics that we discussed include:
- The effect of social media on scoiety
- How Covid has affected life in Iran
- How literature is changed by technological advances
- The differences between online interactions and those face to face
- Whether an increase in tolerating differences is real or superficial
We are lucky to be able to have free and open contact with a person of such stature from Iran and hope that the lines of communication remain open. It would be sad if new restrictions were to close this avenue for free exchange of thought.
