[Noah Coburn, Political Anthropologist and Associate Dean of Curriculum and Pedagogy at Bennington College]
The Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences is excited to announce that one of our board members has co-authored an article for Inside Higher Ed! In the article, Noah Coburn, a socio-cultural anthropologist focusing on political structures and violence in the Middle East and Central Asia, and his two co-authors reflect on their time teaching students from and about Afghanistan in a remote class that included students from around the world and international scholars. In particular, the authors examine education in the region in light of Taliban restrictions and offer their remote class as a way to help support students and scholars in Afghanistan during this crisis.
