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.
