Here are some pictures of the colloquium session organized by the last week. In the session, Dr. Singhal was seen as a prolific, engaging and thought-provoking presenter as he spoke on the topic of "Positive Deviance as Research Methodology," that was designed to enable participants to use positive deviance to challenge the conventional narrative and repurpose it to effectively address their research problems.

Thank you, Dr. Singhal, for this wonderful presentation. We are hoping to welcome you to our workshop again soon.

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.
