Positions and have worked with afghan refugees in the u. S. As a historian, one misunderstanding i try to correct is that our interest is not in events processes when we talked about the fall of kabul, we are not talking to much about an event that is still laying out good yesterday marked the 21st anniversary of 9 11, which month later led to the American Invasion of afghanistan.

Im committed to this work. It is all the work ive ever done actually since graduating, and i think that really ...

You had a plan to do something, all of a sudden the department says, no, we need more, for whatever reason. Theres right sizing that goes on constantly within the department. Theres the muchpublicized but im not sure how much its occurring, the pivot to asia. What does that mean for those embassies in asia ...

As i tell my history students, i teach at the City University of new york. [applause] thank you. As i tell my history students until they want to choke me, the past as is a foreign country. We can visit their. Try to learn the customs, translate the language, or quail at the fowler, but we are foreigners in this strange land.

Well, we started in 2002. Initially, the girls, we were engaged in Child Rights Movement and we were meeting different women leaders.

Mostly, the women and girls were either the receptionist or the material level but not at the decisionmaking. So we started w...
