Dispersion Podcast

The Zoryan Institute is excited to share that the fourth episode of Season 3 of Dispersion Podcast is available now!

In this episode, guests explore their relationship with their own identity in relation to their home state. What sets their experience apart from other guests, is that their homelands are not officially recognized as independent states. We explore how this fight for independence and recognition has shaped guests into who they are today, and why they may have a different relationship with their homeland than other Diaspora groups.
