Title line: WHA logo, "Dissertation Prize" and Giving Tuesday heart hands logo "Recognizing my dissertation, *The Sounds of Kabul: Radio and the Politics of Popular Culture in Modern Afghanistan, 1960-79,* not only validates the significance of my research but has also catalyzed further scholarly engagement. The acknowledgment by the WHA has been instrumental in advancing my forthcoming book manuscript. It underscores the impact of Afghan radio history on shaping regional dynamics and global diasporic identities … The WHA’s recognition has elevated the visibility of my scholarship in ways that encourage deeper dialogue about sound history, popular culture, and media’s role in shaping modernity. It has reinforced the importance of using cultural history to address broader questions about global and regional transformations. ~ Mejgan Massoumi, 2024 Dissertation Prize Winner"
Line one: WHA logo and GivingTuesday logo flanking "World Scholar Travel Grant" “I cannot quantify the impact of the World Scholar Travel Grant. Navigating the PhD journey with partial funding from my university has been such a challenging experience. … The World Scholar Travel Grant not only supported my research but also gave me a platform to share and disseminate my research findings. It also gave me good exposure and has added to my profile as a scholar. I visited San Francisco for the first time and made good contacts with other scholars. Funds like this encourage scholars to take up the challenging task of research. I will be glad to contribute to this fund in the future to make this go around for other indigent scholars.” ~ Oko-Otu Chukwuemeka, 2024 World Scholar Travel Grant Awardee
