Podcast Series: Long Live the Diaspora

The podcast series "Long Live the Diaspora!" (in German) focuses on African diasporas as civil society groups: Who is part of African diasporas? And how do they participate in domestic and foreign policy? The three-part podcast also discusses diaspora perspectives on issues that affect us all: global politics and the war in Ukraine, or social cohesion in Germany. Conceived by political scientist and SCRIPTS doctoral candidate Susan Bergner, Long Live the Diaspora! repeatedly places the political contributions of the diaspora in a scientific context.

First Episode: The "urban landscape" debate

In the first episode of Long Live the Diaspora!, the "urban landscape" debate sparked by Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz is examined from the perspective of the African diaspora. We look at what lies behind the term “diaspora” in political terms. And we look at who is behind the label “African diaspora” and how they work politically.
