Inspirational book: ‘I am Malala’ to be taught at US university

The memoir will be incorporated in George Washington University's Summer Reading Series Symposium of its programme

I am Malala’, the memoirs of the youngest-ever Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai will be part of George Washington University’s Leadership Programme this summer, according to the university’s website.

The memoir will be incorporated in the university’s Summer Reading Series Symposium of its leadership programme. “The book has been inspirational to readers around the world, compelling GW’s Women’s Leadership Program to incorporate it into its Summer Reading Series Symposium,” the website said.

Further, George Washington’s Global Women’s Institute, in collaboration with the Malala Fund has developed a resource guide for high school, college and university students.

A committee comprising GW faculty with expertise in a wide range of disciplines, including international affairs, media studies, language and literature, religion, history, women’s studies, leadership studies and education, developed the resource guide.
