For the past thirty years, Iranian-U.S. relations have been characterized by conflict, tension and suspicion. As America prepares to inaugurate a new president, the NYU Center for Dialogues convenes a one-day conference to ask what might a relationship articulated around a new paradigm look like—a paradigm based on mutual recognition of the need for dignity and security for both sides? How might this paradigm address grievances created by past moments of hurt, while providing a way to move toward the realization of a shared destiny and a positive future? Panel I: Imagining a New Paradigm for Iran-U.S. Relations Panel II: Shared Concerns, Shared Interests Panel III: Planning for Change Panelists include: • Ervand Abrahamian, Distinguished Professor of World and Middle East history, Baruch College, CUNY; • Stephen Heintz, President, Rockefeller Brother Fund; • Fatemah Keshavarz, Chair, Department of Asian and Near Eastern Languages, Washington University; • Gholamali Khoshroo, Senior Editor, Encyclopedia of Contemporary Islam and former Iranian Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations; • John Limbert, Distinguished Professor of International Affairs, US Naval Academy and former US Ambassador; • Hillary Mann Leverett, former National Security Council Director and CEO of Stratega; • William Luers, Chair and President, United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) and former US Ambassador; • Mohiaddin Mesbahi, Director, Middle East Center, Florida International University; • Ali Omidi, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Isfahan; • Shabnam Rezaei, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Persian Mirror; • Elizabeth Rubin, Edwin R.
