This past February Dr. Barker went to Pakistan to teach at a women’s university in the city of Rawalpindi for six months. This talk is about her experience of living and working there during the ongoing political crisis that continues to plague the country. Specifically it focuses on how political life in Pakistan today has changed the canvas of daily life in Islamabad and how it impacted her teaching and the life of her students. Dr. Barker will also discuss what it is like these days being an American in a country where we have been persona non grata for over a decade.
