Are UK Kosovars the ‘posh spice’ of our diaspora and German-speaking diasporas a ‘different breed’?

Are UK Kosovars the "posh spice" of our diaspora and German-speaking diasporas a "different breed"?The evolution of diasporas in host countries is influenced by various factors, including the generation of migrants, the host country’s migration policies and attitudes, language proficiency, and available professional opportunities. These elements also play a role in shaping how diasporas are viewed in their countries of origin. For instance, in Kosovo, attitudes towards the Kosovar-Albanian diaspora in the UK seem more favourable than those towards the diaspora in German-speaking countries such as Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Dafina Paca to explore the factors behind these differing perceptions of the diaspora in Kosovo.Dr Dafina Paca is a part-time Lecturer at Cardiff University. Her teaching and research are interdisciplinary, combining cultural, social, and political theory to explore inequality in ethnicity, identity, and—more recently—healthcare (since starting full-time studies in medicine).Her PhD research explored the Kosovo Albanian Diaspora and constructions of identity vis-a-vis both the host society and the homeland, imagined or otherwise.Breaker music: Blerta Zeqiri & Grupi "BAM" - "Aman, Aman Gjermani" (Youtube check allowed for the usage - no copyright infringement).Intro music: North-Albanian Instrumental.
