International Women’s Day Celebration with Dr. Homeira Qaderi

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.

During the event, we will also be raffling off copies of the book, and the lucky winners will have the opportunity to get it signed during the reception by Dr. Qaderi. Register now!
