Join us for a Zoom webinar with Tahir Hamut Izgil and Rena Yashat Aybal, two of the foremost poets writing in Uyghur today. The event will feature opening remarks by Mark Elliott, Harvard’s Vice Provost of International Affairs, followed by presentations from both poets. We will also have the opportunity to hear from Dr. Gülnar Eziz, Harvard Preceptor in Uyghur and Chaghatay, and Dr. Joshua Freeman of Princeton’s Department of East Asian Studies on their translation work. Proceeds from the event will fund books and supplies for the Uyghur Academy Youth Sunday School in Boston.
