This spring, we are excited to announce that we are partnering with the Collective for Refugee and Immigrant Women’s Wellbeing (CRIW) and other Yale Offices for a very special event to commemorate International Women’s Day on Friday, March 8!
The evening will feature a talk with Dr. Homeira Qaderi, an award-winning Afghan writer, scholar of Persian literature, and courageous advocate for women’s rights and the empowerment of Afghan civil society. Dr. Qaderi is currently at Yale as a visiting scholar with the MacMillan Center, and we are thrilled to host her for a talk and discussion about her award-winning book, “Dancing in the Mosque; An Afghan Mother’s Letter to Her Son”. The evening will conclude with further conversation over a reception with delicious food prepared by local refugee and immigrant women chefs.
BOOK GIVEAWAY: To kick-off this event, we will be raffling off 30 copies of Homeira’s book, “Dancing in the Mosque; An Afghan Mother’s Letter to Her Son”. For your chance to win a copy of the book, please complete this form by January 5, 2024. Winners will be announced in mid-January in order to give you enough time to read the book before the event in March!
More details and registration for this event will be announced in January, so please stay tuned.
