Throughout recent history, Iranian immigrants have brought fresh, nuanced perspectives to the places they choose to call home—open societies where they can live, speak and work freely. As they flourish, Iranians lend their creativity, industriousness, and cultural richness to the broader global tapestry—to the benefit of all.
Speakers
These incredible speakers, all members of the Iranian Immigrant Diaspora, will take the TED stage sharing ideas on topics such as immigration, culture, science and more.
