A proposito di questo titolo

 Diaspora Diaries is about personhood and identity, about education and career, about friendship and intimacy. Basically it’s just about people within the diaspora, trying to negotiate with this world. We’ll be drawing on politics, literature, history, pop culture, and thinkers like Audre Lorde, Mame-Fatou Niang and even a touch of Paul Gilroy to help us explore how our past shapes our present. As this podcast progresses you’ll hear from scholars, students, poets and other voices. So sit back, grab a drink (or two), and maybe a journal. This is Diaspora Diaries.Awa Sow Scienze sociali

  • S2 Ep5: The Complexities of “Statelessness”

    S2 Ep5: The Complexities of “Statelessness”
    Apr 24 2026

    In this episode, Awa sits down with Lavin Ousi, a returning guest from Season 1, to explore what it means to navigate Kurdish identity without a state formally recognised under international law, and how culture, language, and community hold that identity together beyond borders. The episode reflects on the complexities of “statelessness,” and the ways Kurdish identities are continuously shaped through everyday acts of self-determination, self-validation, and self-legitimisation.

  • S2 Ep3: All About Love

    S2 Ep3: All About Love
    Feb 27 2026

    In this episode, Awa is in conversation with Fuad Busoir about love – what it means, how it is recognised, and whether it’s something felt or practised. Moving between romantic relationships, friendship and family, they reflect on the ways love shapes how people relate to one another, to space, and to themselves. Along the way, they sit with questions of accountability, intention, and whether love can ever be separate from politics – or if it is always quietly structuring the worlds being built.
