"What Hope for Afghanistan"
December 8, 2009 7pm
featuring Distinguished Scholar Athanios Moulakis
Athanasios Moulakis, acting president and professor of government at the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul, will speak on “What Hope for Afghanistan” at 7 pm at the Club. The event is free and open to the public with no tickets or reservations required.
Moulakis is a distinguished scholar who has taught at several universities in Europe and the U.S., including a visiting appointment at UCSD.
The Kabul university Moulakis is building aims to help Afghans help themselves by gaining the tools of science, humanistic learning, and public administration. In that capacity, he has had a unique opportunity not only to experience life in this war-torn society but also to gain an insight into the varied perceptions on the country’s problems and prospects held by various Afghan factions, their neighbors in Iraq and Pakistan, and Americans and other Westerners.

Jaga Nath Glassman
“Landscapes and Bodies”
Jaga Nath Glassman is a fine artist, photographer and graphic artist. Her representational work has been well received in many public venues such as the Palm Springs Desert Museum, where she was an award –winning artist for her oil paintings. Her work can best be described as the synergy of fantasy and tranquility. In a life that has been a continual quest for knowledge and understanding, she has achieved fulfillment through her art. Beyond her extensive, diversified studies culminating in a Bachelor’s degree in the Biological Sciences, and a Juris Doctorate degree, she has also examined Eastern religion and philosophy. The sense of balance and serenity that her art invokes in the viewer is attributable to the inner peace she has found through her art.
Please join us for a reception in the artist’s honor on October 2nd from 5 to 7 pm.
