In December 2020, IAS faculty member Alka Kurian<\/a> interviewed the Pulitzer Prize winner poet Vijay Seshadri for the Tasveer Author Meets event<\/a>. In November 2020, Kurian was a panelist for the “Triumph over Misogyny<\/a>,” “Duties, Dreams and Desires in a Young Woman<\/a>,” “Displacement and Trauma: Sri Lanka’s Civil War and Partition of India<\/a>,” and “Courageous Ordinary Lives in Flood-prone Assam<\/a>,” panels at the South Asian Film Festival of Montreal.<\/p>\n\n

In October 2020 Kurian gave virtual lectures on “Youth, Gender, and Human Rights in India” at the Foreign Service Institute and a virtual guest lecture on Bliss (Mutluluk) for the Human Rights Cinema course, University of Massachusetts, Boston.
