Given the major developments in Iran over the weekend, a George Washington University expert can add critical context to your coverage.
Amir Afkhami, Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs in Psychiatry & Behavioral Health at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, is a nationally and internationally recognized expert on Iranian psychiatry, political leadership, and public health.
Afkhami’s work uniquely bridges clinical medicine, history, and geopolitics — examining how health, mindset, and disease intersect with political power in Iran. He is the author of A Modern Contagion and has published extensively on Iranian health systems and the medical dimensions of political authority.
