- How do traditional media and social networks impact these discursive environments?
- What destructive effects do authoritarian narratives have on the collective memory of Iranian society?
- What challenges, opportunities, and threats does Iranian society face within these arenas? How is civil society responding to these threats, and how can it better leverage existing opportunities?
