Similar to George Washington University's conference on the use of technology in today's Iran, Columbia will be hosting "New Generation, New Perspectives, New Media." The event is taking this Saturday April 17th. I wish I could go because there are some great Iran scholars up at Columbia, one of whom, Dr. Hamid Dabashi, I wrote about a few weeks back in Reading List 2.
Dr. Dabashi has a section on his website that features a segment called "Week in Green." "Week in Green" features short clips of Dr. Dabashi covering relevant events or talking with Iranian scholars and figureheads, like Dr. Ervand Abarahimian or reformist cleric Mohsen Kadivar. Most of the clips are in Persian and do have English subtitles so if you are interested in seeing how one of the foremost minds on Iran has utilized multimedia, check out some of the videos.
Also Dr. Babashi has a facebook page, youtube channel, and twitter account--check them all out.
