Uncovering Bridges
Ghazi Faisal Al-Muliafi’s journey began with one statement from his grandfather, who was once a Kuwaiti pearl diving shipmaster: “All the men died at sea”. Now an ethnomusicologist at NYU Abu Dhabi, Ghazi has spent his career researching Kuwaiti pearl diving music and the lives of the pearl divers in order to connect with his ancestral past. In the process, however, he may have uncovered long lost narratives that have larger implications on how we think about cultural appropriation, tradition, and national identity.

By the People for the People: the Vote 2020 Initiative
How do we keep our democracy healthy? Especially when politics and policies keep people from participating? As the consequential elections of 2020 approached, NYU professors Erica Foldy and John Gershman began asking these questions—and the VOTE 2020 Fellowship was their answer. “By the People, For the People” tells the story of this experimental initiative, and examines what happens when everyday people, like Erica, John, and their students at NYU, take ownership of their democracy.
