Chiavelli on Afghanistan, July 16
On July 16, at 7:00 p.m., in the Malden Public Library, Mr. James A. Chiavelli II will speak on his experiences in Kabul, Afghanistan.
In 2005-2006, under NATO supervision in Kabul, Mr. Chiavelli managed the news, photography and production of a 310,000-circulation newspaper in English, Dari, and Pashto for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Beginning 2006, he also wrote features for Afghan Scene, a monthly targeting the expatriate community in Afghanistan.
Since leaving Harvard in 1984, Mr. Chiavelli, a Malden resident, has been a journalist and editor of several area newspapers in eastern Massachusetts. Currently, he works as editor-in-chief of Northeastern Voice—both university and community editions.
