    Roqe Ep. 355 - Is Multiculturalism Broken? - Dr. Fathali Moghaddam
    Jan 10 2025
    A new edition of Roqe featuring Dr. Fathali Moghaddam, the distinguished psychologist and professor at Georgetown University, who joins Jian to discuss his new book and his provocative thesis around the limits of multiculturalism in the West, and his antidote: “omniculturalism.” Dr. Moghaddam, one of our favourite returning guests, and a globally recognized expert on cultural integration, conflict resolution, and the psychology of globalization, makes the case that our societies should be focusing more on inter-individual similarities rather than differences, a thesis he presents in his latest book entitled, The Psychology of Multiculturalism, Assimilation, and Omniculturalism.

  • Roqe Ep. 354 - Will Change Come to Iran in 2025?

    Roqe Ep. 354 - Will Change Come to Iran in 2025?
    Jan 3 2025
    On a special episode marking our first show of 2025, we assemble a group of 9 prominent Iranians around the world to get their answer to the question: Will change come to Iran in 2025? Given the immense geo-political shifts we have seen in recent months, from the election of Trump, to the fall of Assad, and the relative neutering of Hezbollah and Hamas...will the coming year be one in which the profound change that so many Iranians around the world have been aching for, comes to fruition? Jian is joined by Hadi Ghaemi in New York, Nazenin Ansari in London, Cameron Khansarinia in Washington DC, Gilda Sahebi in Berlin, Picasso Moin in Istanbul, Nik Kowsar in DC., Ghazaleh Sharmahd in Los Angeles, Ali Hamedani in London, and Fereydoon Rahmani in Toronto, offering a variety of opinions and perspectives and an overall optimism about the immediate future for Iranians.

  • Roqe Ep.353 - Special Edition: Jimmy Carter and a Problematic Legacy With Iran

    Roqe Ep.353 - Special Edition: Jimmy Carter and a Problematic Legacy With Iran
    Dec 30 2024
    With news of the passing of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, we present a special edition of Roqe. While Carter is being lauded for virtues and impressive accomplishments through his storied life, his legacy with Iran during the period of his presidency is more problematic and fraught with questionable decisions. Indeed, a credible case can be made that it was a consequence of Carter’s actions - and inactions - that Khomeini and the Islamic Republic of Iran was enabled to take power. Jian is joined by historian and journalist Kai Bird (redux) on his biography - The Outlier: The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter. Plus Jian opens the show with an essay suggesting to non-Iranians: “Don’t be surprised if some of your Iranian friends are less forgiving in remembering Jimmy Carter.”
