The Silent Whispers - Afarin Bellisario - EP523
Afarin Bellisario is a native of Iran who received her Ph.D. from MIT and has dedicated her career to bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and the marketplace. This unique background places her squarely at the intersection of technology and society. In addition to her extensive portfolio of business and technical articles, she has recently embarked on a new creative venture. Her latest project, "The Silent Whispers," is a novel that unfolds in the early twentieth-century Iran.
"The Silent Whispers” tells the story of an Iranian woman's battle for freedom– personal and national– amid profound societal changes and her forbidden love for a Russian reformer. It explores such themes as gaining agency, searching for identity amidst transformation, and the clash between individual desires and societal needs at a time of profound change. These themes remain relevant in today's rapidly changing society, shedding light on issues such as East-West relations and the over a hundred years of Iranian women’s struggle for independence.
Drawing from her Iranian upbringing and family- including her Russian great-grandfather- Bellisario's novel vividly portrays life in early twentieth-century Iran, inspired by the women who have fought for Iranian democracy.
She can also address topics such as:
The Struggles of Iranian Women: A historical overview of 150 years of relentless struggle for freedom, justice, and personal expression by Iranian women.
The Complexities of Conflict with Iran: Addressing the multifaceted issues underlying international conflicts with Iran.
Drawing Parallels with the Russian Playbook: Reflecting on the parallels between contemporary events, such as the Ukraine crisis, and historical occurrences, illustrating what lessons can be gleaned.
Individual Freedom vs. Societal Good: Examining the evolving equilibrium between personal liberty and the greater societal good, with technology as a catalytic force.
