Diasporas Speaking has always been a labour of love aimed at strengthening our diaspora communities across borders. For most of us in the diaspora, there is no archival home. Our stories, memories, and histories often have nowhere to live.

We are back @diasporaspeaking.bsky.social. Didn’t know Albanian academics in the diaspora were starving for ideas. Just saw an academic copy of our Breaking Archival Silences initiative. If you want to equally feel inspired, listen to the latest episode: open.spotify.com/episode/11rq...

30 years on, we honour over 8372 Bosniak men and boys murdered brutally by Serbian forces in the town of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Remembering is resistance against denial.

Please do not use this word in my presence or at all. Do not write it out. Do not spell. Do not whisper it. After writing this, I had to face a court of whataboutist messages. As if I sat there on my sofa thinking of something spectacular to say. The tone policing is despicable.

Hear the sad story of how a misspent youth hanging out in Seattle led to a misspent dotage hanging out in the Balkans. She gave me a soundtrack too!

Ten years or so ago, I eagerly read Hana Marku's critical research on gender issues in Kosovo. As a leading post-war Kosovar Albanian feminist, I am honoured to have interviewed Hana for an episode at Diasporas Speaking, where she brings year-long expertise intersecting feminist and legal knowledge.
