In 1981, I was expelled from teaching at the University of Tehran for refusing to veil. Since then I have hoped for a day like today when Iranian women courageously cast off their veils. My hope is close to the new reality in Iran! #MahsaAmini #IranProtests2022 #مهسا_امینی

Changing the language in #RoaldDahl 's books changes history as it was and creates a fake history. We need to know the past-- including the offensive parts. That is how we avoid repeating the offense. We must know it in order to change, rather than rewrite it out of existence.

Currently in Italy giving interviews and talks about what is going on in Iran. For those of us watching the uprising from afar, empathy is so important! Grateful to see how many people here are hopeful and inspired by Iranians fighting for freedom. #زن_زندگی_آزادی

این همبستگی ورای سیاست میرود, همبستگی انسانی است, با قلب وروح سر وکار دارد. با همدلی و همدردی با خانواده های سوگوار و بزرگ داشت عزیزانشان.

The first chapter of my new book #ReadDangerously focuses on #Rushdie 's writing and how important free expression is. In the book, I also engage with other dangerous & banned texts from courageous authors like @MargaretAtwood , Toni Morrison, and James Baldwin.

Looking forward to speaking at @cheusecenter about #Iran and how despite the regime's efforts to use bullets on innocent lives, Iranian men & women are using the arts to resist and reclaim their country. Sponsored by @busboysandpoets on 4/4 @ 6:30 pm.

Happy Norooz to my fellow Iranians. May we stick together and work, hand in hand, in our struggle against the Islamic Republic’s oppression. May we continue our fight for human rights and a democratic Iran. May we never lose sight of the bigger picture

We can learn much from Canadians,including the meaning of a term we use much but many,esp among our elite have forgotten meaning: Empathy!

The UN’s decision to remove the Islamic Republic from the Commission on the Status of Women is a victory for the people of #Iran . It's a reminder that the world holds the regime accountable for its crimes. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی
