Stories shape how we understand conflict — and how we respond to it. At a moment when events in Iran dominate global headlines, this conversation feels newly urgent.

Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience as a global peace strategist, Sanam Naraghi-Anderlini will examine the unfolding crisis in Iran, the media and public discourse shaping our understanding of it, and the ways narrative can either entrench division or open space for peace.

From poetry to propaganda, she will explore how language, framing and representation influence what we see — and what we fail to see — in times of war and peace.
