From Institute Director, Salpi Ghazarian


Working from Home, or WFHing as it’s called, has given our staff more time to read. We still work 5 solid days (right through lunch most of the time…) but the commute time has transformed into extra reading time. So, from us to you, here’s some of what we’re reading this summer.  Let us know if you find it enjoyable, or useful… or suggest yours!

 

If you’re more into listening than reading, the next episode of Gegham Mughnetsyan’s Inch-by-Inch or, more accurately, Ինչ by Ինչ, is about summer. Another summer, in another place. [And later in July we’ll share with you a list of the books and podcasts we’re all listening to.]

 

Before you pour a glass of wine and sit back with our great, diverse, fun list, think about participating in the #MyArmenianStory info session this Thursday. Sign up here and join in an hour of conversation with people from all over the world. There were people from six countries in the the last one and they’ve each gone on to add an interview to the #MyArmenianStory data base. Where’s yours??
