Professor visits Kazakhstan university

Professor Michael Brown is going to the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in Kazakhstan for two weeks. He has been invited to teach a series of classes and workshops. Brown will be teaching a class about media and society to 20 undergraduate students, a research class for 15 Master’s and Ph.D students, and an academic writing seminar for 20 faculty members.

In addition, Brown will be finalizing a cooperation agreement between the University of Wyoming and the Kazakh National University. The connection to the Kazakh National University was made through Askhat Yerkimbay, an independent Kazakh journalist who has taught for KazNU and attends the COJO master’s program with support of the Muskie Foundation.
