The collapse of government in August 2021 led to mass exodus of scholars, academics, public intellectuals, researchers, writers, artists and other members of the national knowledge networks of Afghanistan, leaving the country\u2019s institutions of knowledge in a mounting crisis. The speakers will discuss the magnitude of this crisis, scholarly displacement, management of knowledge networks in diaspora, as well as scholars\u2019 and students\u2019 experiences of displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button \" href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_g3h7fz5CSdW5hKTSVlpkog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register Here<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[271,248],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-6663","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-non-lerrn-events","cu_event_type-webinars"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2023-04-04T14:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2023-04-04T15:30:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Shuchi Karim","cu_event_email":"ShuchiKarim@cunet.carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/6663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/6663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8103,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/6663\/revisions\/8103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=6663"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=6663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
