Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Fireside Chat with Roxana Saberi
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
A freelance journalist in Iran, Saberi was arrested in January 2009, and held for 100 days. Her arrest, captivity, and liberation present an eyewitness to history. Join us for this intimate, in-depth examination of Iran, freedom of the press, and human rights. Iran ranks 172 of 175 in terms of press freedom, the sixth-leading jailer of journalists worldwide. Of Iranian and Japanese parents, Saberi is deeply involved in international human rights. A graduate of Concordia College, Saberi has masters degrees in journalism and international relations. She has received the Medill Medal of Courage, the Ilaria Alpi Freedom of the Press Award, and the Project for Middle East Democracy Award.
