Event Details

Join us at the Mill Valley Library for a conversation with debut novelist and documentary filmmaker Tara Dorabji in conversation with College of Marin professor Susan Rahman.

Tara’s debut novel, Call Her Freedom (winner of the Simon & Schuster Books Like Us first novel contest) is a deeply moving story about one woman’s love for her family. It is an epic investigation of colonialism, militarization, and the loss and innocence on the journey to creating home.

Tara Dorabji is the daughter of Parsi-Indian and German-Italian migrants. Her documentary film series on human rights defenders in Kashmir won awards at over a dozen film festivals throughout Asia and the USA. Tara’s publications include Al JazeeraThe Chicago QuarterlyHuizache, and acclaimed anthologies: Good Girls Marry Doctors and All the Women in My Family Sing. She lives in Northern California with her family and rabbit.

Dr. Susan Rahman (she/her), is a mother, a Professor of  Sociology and Behavioral Sciences, and the founder and CEO of Road to Empowerment Restorative Services, a non-profit dedicated to reimagining the reintegration process to minimize disruption and harm and to create a more just and supportive environment for system impacted individuals. Her work includes To Resist is to Exist: Voices of the Women of Palestine, A People’s History of Structural Racism in Academia: from A(dministration of Justice) to Z(oology); and Sexuality, the Self and Society. 

Our bookseller for this program is Sausalito Books by the Bay.
