Miniatures Episode 7: When Ethnicity Is Taboo - Everyday Ethnicity in Rwanda with Dr Meghan Laws

from Miniatures: Small Stories - Big Histories · host Miniatures Podcast

What’s it like to live in a country dealing with the traumatic aftermath of a genocide? And in a country that also criminalises most public expressions or discussions of ethnicity? Dr Meghan Laws (University of St Andrews) joins us to talk about her work in Rwanda and the ‘hidden transcripts’ of ethnicity that lie beneath the surface of the official ‘ethnic amnesia’. This podcast was originally published on 25th February 2021 as part of the ERC research project ‘Dictatorship as experience: A comparative history of everyday life and the ‘lived experience’ of dictatorship in Mediterranean Europe (1922-1975)’ led by Prof. Kate Ferris at the University of St Andrews.
