Take a look at some of the activities of our fellow in the at the University Of Texas at Austin. Six of them, Paige, Carina, Morgan, Afi, Delight and Delphine have done their presentations on different topics from media coverage of maternal health, sexual expression, LGBT to migration and mental health. Please join us in giving all of them a big round of applause for their efforts and beautiful presentations.

We are pleased to have Dr. Shahrani with our fellows today to present his work on the topic "Communications, Culture and 40 years of War in Afghanistan." His years of research from a native anthropologist's perspective have essentially provided a refreshing look into how Afghanistan as a country have evolved over a period of time in terms of politics, society and communication structure. The last slide in his presentation reads, " Kabul New City: A Dream in the Making."

We are hoping to welcome you again to our colloquium session and wishing you a safe trip on the way.

Also, if any of you know any speaker you would like to invite to the session, please do not hesitate to let us know.
