We just found out our grant application to collaborate with Brendan Hart to document autism in Morocco was awarded by the American Institute for Maghrib Studies (AIMS) and will be funded through the Department of State. Brendan is a doctoral candidate of medical anthropology at Columbia University and has been in Morocco since 2010. In the fall, Jesse will be traveling with him to various cities throughout the country and visually representing the experience of families affected by autism. We’re really excited to be working with Brendan and will keep you updated with news about this project!
