SUMMARY:A Call For Universal Freedom In Iran
DESCRIPTION:The February\, 1979 Islamic Revolution introduced a form of government rarely encountered in the 20th or 21st century. Radical theocrats began a reign of terror within and beyond the nation of Iran. Seeking to bring a whole population under its control\, the regime has not retreated from wholesale arrests of Iranian citizens\, torture\, and public hangings to subdue all who disagreed with its totalitarian tactics\, and in many instances\, it has worked. \nThere are exceptions\, and on occasion\, there is a citizen so assured of his or her faith\, that regime intimidation\, arrest\, and emotional distress fails to meet its objective. On March 16th\, the ACIR will host a survivor of the regime’s notorious Evin Prison who resisted all efforts to break her and her religious faith. Today\, many others in Iran are risking their lives\, resisting similar human rights violations and choosing freedom. Come listen to Marziyeh Amirizadeh discuss the call for freedom in today’s Iran. \n  \nAbout Marziyeh Amirizadeh \n \nMarziyeh Amirizadeh – or Marzi – is an Iranian immigrant who was born just a few months before the 1979 Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah of Iran and swept a radical Islamic regime into power. More than twenty years ago through the grace of God\, Marzi became a Christian despite growing up under the authoritarian\, socialistic\, Islamic regime where children were indoctrinated by the government. \nAfter becoming a Christian\, Marzi shared her Christian faith with fellow Iranians by distributing thousands of bibles and participating in the underground Iranian church. In 2009\, she was arrested in Tehran for promoting Christianity and was thrown into the notorious Evin prison – one of the most brutal prisons in the world. While incarcerated\, she endured months of mental and physical hardships\, including intense interrogation. She was sentenced to death by hanging simply for being a Christian. Finally\, under pressure from human rights and Christian organizations\, the Iranian government released Marzi. She emigrated to the United States where she became an American citizen and earned a Bachelor and Master of Science degree in International Affairs. \nMarzi is a published author\, public speaker\, activist for religious freedom\, and a former candidate for Georgia House District 67. Her first book\, Captive in Iran\, which recounts her capture and imprisonment\, was published in April 2013. She has shared her inspiring story in the United States and around the world\, in order to bring awareness to people and policy makers about the ongoing human rights violations and persecution of religious minorities in Iran.

Abroad\, renewal of the Iran nuclear deal seemed doubtful and tensions remain high between Iran\, Israel\, and Arab states. Many Iranians have lost hope of a better future\, and the country seems at a crossroads. How should the United States deal with it? \nSpeaker: Dr. Kevin Jones\, Associate Professor of History\, University of Georgia \nPlease note\, topics and speakers are subject to change dates. \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - The impact of cultural differences in international business
DESCRIPTION:Join the Netherlands American Chamber of Commerce for an interesting Lunch & Learn where Peter van der Lende will walk us through the dimensions of cultural differences to help you bridge the cultural gap.\n\nWorking with people of different nationalities is very common nowadays. In addition to overseas offices\, companies are expected to embrace employees to work remotely in an international environment. No matter the size of companies\, their providers\nas well as their clients tend to come from beyond their\ngeographical borders. Cultural differences are an\nundeniable part of international business.\n\nEach country\, each nationality\, has a culture of its own. However\, these differences are not always recognized as a driver of lacking results or friction within teams.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nPeter van der Lende is Dutch and lived and worked in nine countries in Europe\, Latin America\, and North America. He currently resides in Atlanta. Peter started in the airline industry and worked as an independent since 2013 and with Culture Matters since 2019. In 2017 Peter started Expand360 with a partner. Expand360 aims at assisting companies expanding internationally by providing business development services. Peter has a master’s degree in Business Economics and is fluent in English\, Spanish\, and Dutch.

SUMMARY:Ramadan Iftar Dinner with Families 2023
DESCRIPTION:The volunteer families of the Atlantic Institute cordially invite the friends of the Atlantic institute to their homes for a fast-breaking dinner during the upcoming Ramadan. \nDuring the month of Ramadan\, Muslims fast by abstaining from consuming water or food while the sun is out. Iftar – or fast breaking – dinners occur each night once the sun sets. This is an important time not only for those who participate in Ramadan because of their faith\, but also it is an important time for gathering with friends and neighbors over delicious food and through lively conversation. It is truly a special time when people of all backgrounds come together and share in the Iftar experience\, learning about different cultures and faiths. \nThis year Ramadan begins on March 22nd depending on the moon sighting. Host families will begin offering the Iftar dinners between March 26th – April 10th. If you have attended Iftar dinners in previous years\, you are more than welcome to attend again\, as many guests do so. \nPlease contact ga@theatlanticinstitute.org for any questions or concerns. \nNote: Fasting is not required for guests. Information about the host family\, their address\, phone number\, and professional affiliation will be shared with you as soon as we finalize the family matching process

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Mona Tajali's 'Women’s Political Representation in Iran and Turkey: Demanding a Seat at the Table'
DESCRIPTION:Women’s history month comes at a fraught time in Iran and Turkey\, two pivotal nations straddling the Middle East and Asia.  \nIn Iran\, the death of a young woman in police custody has thrown the oppression of women into stark relief\, sparking widespread protests led by women over the forced wearing of headscarves that have pressured the hardline regime.  \nIn Turkey\, meanwhile\, women have been asked to carry much of the trauma from an earthquake that has killed nearly 50\,000 people in the southeastern part of the country. \nThese acute issues comes on top of the chronic lack of representation in both countries. Women in Turkey occupy just 17 percent of available parliamentary seats. In Iran\, it’s just 3 percent.  \nThe event. To explore and compare the factors limiting female participation in politics in both countries\, join Global Atlanta for the season kickoff of Authors Amplified\, a series of virtual book talks in partnership with the Atlanta Global Studies Center spotlighting Georgia voices on international issues.  \nWe’ll be chatting with Agnes Scott College Professor Dr. Mona Tajali\, author of Women’s Political Representation in Iran and Turkey: Demanding a Seat at the Table\, in a podcast-style interview that will be broadcast live from Constellations in downtown Atlanta.  \nAbout the book (text from the publisher): \n\nHow have women in many Muslim-majority countries been able to achieve surprising success despite the significant constraints imposed by conservative gender ideology and authoritarian political parties and systems? Through a comparative focus on Iran and Turkey\, Mona Tajili examines the activities and strategies of women’s rights groups across the ideological spectrum. She explores how various groups have negotiated with political elites in order to bolster female political representation and identifies the conditions that stimulate greater support to ease women’s path to political office. Studying how women’s groups manoeuvre within these structures is important to help our understanding of the gendered politics of autocratic regimes. \n\nAbout the author: \nMona Tajali is associate professor of international relations and women’s\, gender\, and sexuality studies at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta\, Georgia. She has authored (with Homa Hoodfar) Electoral Politics: Making Quotas Work for Women (WLUML 2011)\, and several scholarly articles on gender and politics in the Middle East. Since 2007 she has been collaborating with the research wing of Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) transnational solidarity network and since 2019 serves as a member of its executive board. \nAbout the series and sponsor: \nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.

SUMMARY:“Je Me Soulève” Movie Screening: Atlanta Francophonie Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join the Atlanta Francophonie Festival for a screening of the movie Je Me Soulève (2022) by Hugo Latulippe. \nThis screening will be in French with English subtitles. \nSYNOPSIS: Twenty young actors are brought together for a creation lab by stage directors Véronique and Gabrielle Côté\, to create a collective work at one of the great national theatres. Over a full year\, they scour contemporary Québécois poetry to tap into the spirit of the times. Whether in workshop settings or at the four corners of the territory\, we watch the creative process of Je me soulève unfold. What kind of people will we be in the future? How can art transform the world? Will we still be able to have children? Rebellious\, filled with the passion of those who dream of beauty\, obeying only their intuition\, they come together to forge an ode to life. And when one of theirs is elected to the Quebec’s National Assembly\, poetry literally becomes an integral part of the country’s political landscape. \nClick here to watch the trailer (in French). \nDirected by: Hugo Latulippe \nThis event is made possible by the Quebec Government Office in Atlanta

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series -- Interview With Ravi Saligram\, CEO of Newell Brands: Learning and Leading Through a Global Turnaround
DESCRIPTION:When Ravi Saligram joined Newell Brands in 2019 as President & CEO\, the company was experiencing poor performance\, low employee engagement and excessive complexity. In 2020\, Ravi and the world-class leadership team he’d built were also faced with leading through the unexpected and monumental issues presented by COVID. \nDespite these challenges\, employee engagement scores increased significantly\, and the company’s turnaround efforts persisted.\nWhile Ravi announced his May retirement earlier this year\, there’s no doubt the company has strengthened during his tenure. Complexity and overhead costs have been reduced; Project Ovid\, a multi-year initiative consolidating 23 unique supply chains into one\, was successfully implemented; a new innovation operating model was introduced\, and innovations were launched that leveraged COVID trends; automation has been scaled and the company has best-in-class productivity and safety records. Notably\, Newell Brands was named one of Fortune’s Most Admired Companies in 2022 and 2023\, a recognition it had not previously received. \nRavi is a three-time public CEO\, also having led OfficeMax\, Inc. and Ritchie Brothers. Despite arriving in the United States with less than $20 in his pocket\, he earned an MBA from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and has lived in six countries and worked in many more during his nearly 40-year career\, which began at Leo Burnett in Chicago. \nDuring this webinar\, Ravi will speak with Global Atlanta Managing Editor Trevor Williams and share the following key takeaways:\n• The importance of a people-first approach and how to drive a culture of engagement\n• How companies can foster diversity\, inclusion and belonging and be a force for good\n• The necessity of cross-cultural competency and how international experience shapes perspective
