If you would have told her back then she’d be where she is now, Maliha Zulfacar, PhD, DAAP ’72, wouldn’t have believed it. From being the first Afghan woman permitted to study alone in the U.S. to later having to flee her homeland as a young mother when the Soviets attacked in the 1970s, join us for an intimate conversation on being comfortable with change and instability. Moderated by Distinguished Research Professor of Art at DAAP, Flávia Bastos, PhD, we’re celebrating the close of Women’s History Month with a story you won’t forget.

Registrants will receive the secure Zoom link to join the morning of the event.
