Episode description

Join hosts Maureen, a creative Melton Fellow from India, and Tabita, an insightful Melton Fellow from China, as they delve into the fascinating world of intercultural friendships in our new episode of the #GlobalCitizenshipInPractice podcast. 

Throughout the episode, we engage with diverse perspectives and voices, including historians, scholars, activists, and descendants of colonial legacies, to illuminate the multifaceted dimensions of colonialism's impact on societies, cultures, and identities. From the trauma and injustices inflicted upon indigenous peoples to the enduring cultural, economic, and political ramifications for colonizing and colonized nations alike, we confront the complexities and contradictions inherent in grappling with colonial pasts.

Moreover, we delve into contemporary discussions surrounding memory, reconciliation, and decolonization, examining how Germany and Chile reckon with their colonial legacies and navigate the challenges of confronting historical injustices and forging pathways toward greater understanding and healing.

Through reflective dialogue and critical inquiry, our podcast seeks to foster deeper awareness and dialogue surrounding the enduring legacies of colonialism, inviting listeners to interrogate the complexities of power, privilege, and historical responsibility in our interconnected world.
