In this episode, we discuss the importance of solidarity among people with experiences of displacement and delve into both its imaginaries and its structural boundaries.
This episode has two parts. The first part, in conversation with Ukrainian social anthropologist Ruslana Koziienko, examines the mechanisms of EU protection from the perspective of displaced Ukrainians, as well as the legal and social barriers to solidarity among people with experiences of displacement.
In the second part, Dr. Zeynep Şahin Mencütek helps us place this problem in a broader context and examines the general trends in the erosion of protection for displaced people worldwide. This conversation explores the historical development of the Temporary Protection system, the political and humanitarian challenges it addresses, and the particularities of how it is implemented in different countries across the globe.
Both parts of this episode are already available on any platform where you get your podcasts.
