Sex and the City: Stories of Love and Desire in Iran and Afghanistan

New Add to Schedule

Course Description

Using a mix of cinema and literature, this course seeks to highlight how personal narratives of love and desire are often more than just individual stories. These stories don't exist in a vacuum; they are underwritten by the influence of politics on personal freedoms, the evolution and impact of gender roles, the tension between tradition and societal change, and the weight of cultural norms and expectations on individual choices.
