Mejgan Massoumi

Lalita du Perron virtually sits down with Stanford History graduate student Mejgan Massoumi to talk about her research on the Afghan artist Ahmad Zahir and his importance in Afghan culture. In their conversation they discuss politics in contemporary Afghanistan, Covid and family life, and the ongoing relevance of radio as a source of information. Join us!

Correction: At 29:29 Mejgan says "Since the 1990s" but meant "Since the 1960s."
