French Conversation

French Conversation will meet Monday, September 27th at 2PM via Zoom to discuss the current situation of women in Afghanistan under the return to power of the Taliban.

The topic echoes a recent UWC Current affairs meeting, and, for those who attended it, discussing these issues in French will provide a chance to brush up on political and religious vocabulary in the language of Molière. Below are links to two articles in French which review how women in Afghanistan view and deal with the prospect of disappearing from public life.

Please email Barbara Grünenfelder at uwc.frenchconversation@gmail.com by Friday, September 24th in order to receive the zoom link 24 hours prior to the event.
