DESCRIPTION:  \nPlease RSVP by 19 March 2026 to Rhonda Pelletier rhompell@gmail.com \n  \nDr. Mohjo Ghafouri holds a PhD in Water Science. He earned a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education\n(Teaching and Learning) from Deakin University\, where he taught water engineering for a decade. Alongside\nhis academic career\, he has long been fascinated by water not only as a scientific discipline but also as a\nreservoir of memory\, history\, and human experience. \nThis interdisciplinary perspective inspired his debut historical fiction novel\, “PERSIANS: The Army of\nAncient Spirits”\, which draws on Persian mythology\, ancestral memory\, and themes of identity and\ndisplacement. Mohjo independently published his book through Amazon KDP and will share practical insights\ninto the self-publishing journey\, including its opportunities and challenges. \n
