Where: Knott Auditorium | College of Notre Dame of Maryland

When: Thursday, November 29, 2001 | 7:30- 9:00 p.m.

Info: In its continuing series on addressing issues related to the events of September 11, and its aftermath, the Baltimore Collegetown Network presents its second forum, "Crisis in Context: Voices of Women in Muslim Society." Come hear an extraordinary panel of women talk about the current state of affairs in the region, the plight and resilience of Afghan women and their covert network, RAWA, memories of growing up in Afghanistan pre-Taliban, and the experience of being a Muslim-American woman today.

Panel: Moderator: Dr. Suzanne Shipley, Vice President for Academic Affairs at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland.

Dr. Anne Brodsky, a community/clinical psychologist at UMBC whose teaching, research and practice focuses on the resilience of women and the role of communities in resisting societal risks, and other forms of oppression. The most recent extension of these interests is in her work with Afghan women and RAWA, which operates clandestinely in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. She'll share her slides and her stories from visiting refugee camps this past summer in Pakistan.

Soheila Ghaussy, literature professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, who was born and raised in Afghanistan. She'll share memories of her childhood from the 60s and early 70s, and provide a cultural perspective.

Shukria Raad, Muslim woman reporter for the Voice of America, Dari Service. She will provide insight into the current state of affairs in Afghanistan, what the potential disintegration of the Taliban means for women of the region, and her experience as a female journalist.

Nazish Habib (Invited), teacher for Montgomery county schools and chaplain at Johns Hopkins University, will share her experiences as a Muslim-American woman, Islam, and life after September 11.
