Television and the Afghan Culture Wars: Brought to You by Foreigners, Warlords, and Activists

OSUN members and the public are invited to join filmmaker Wazhmah Osman and Professor Jeannette Estruth to discuss Osman's new book, Television and the Afghan Culture Wars: Brought to You by Foreigners, Warlords, and Activists at this Bard College event.

Prof. Osman is an Assistant Professor in Temple University’s Department of Media Studies and Production. Her book analyzes the impact of international funding and cross-border media flows on the national politics of Afghanistan. Her research is rooted in feminist media ethnographies that focus on the political economy of global media industries and the regimes of representation and visual culture they produce. Her critically acclaimed documentary, "Postcards from Tora Bora," has been shown in festivals around the world. 

This event is sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the College, the Bard Lifetime Learning Institute, and the Academic Program Inclusion Challenge. 

This is an online event. Join via Zoom.
