Kirkland Associates 2001-2002 |
In spring 2002, the Kirkland Project had two successful research associates, both pursuing projects related to issues of identity.Niknaz Moghbeli '02 worked with History professors Shoshana Keller and Lisa Trivedi on a paper titled, “‘Flag of the Revolution’: Veiling Practices in Contemporary Iran.” Nikki asked hard questions about veiling, and her conclusions challenged the assumption that mandatory veiling necessarily and simply restricts the movement of women in Iranian society.
Mitchell Morse '02 worked with Robert Palusky on a year-long ceramics project; his work responds to the common question asked of gay youth: “are you born that way?” His talk, titled “It’s Not a Choice,” clarified the way in which aesthetic and ethical/political issues can be fused.
