Zusammenfassung:The Rethinking Iran Initiative at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University held a webinar on Apr 16 featuring Dartmouth University assistant professor Golnar Nikpour for a discussion on her new book, The Incarcerated Modern: Prisons and Public Life in Iran. Most of the scholarship surrounding the carceral system in Iran focuses primarily on political prisoners, despite the fact that the majority of people incarcerated in Iran are jailed on common law charges, primarily low-level drug offenses. Nikpour's work expands the discussion beyond political persecution to explore the making and invention of the carceral state in Iran.
