• Crossing Cultures

  In a visit to Novellara, Italy, last summer, our host Eleanor Paynter and guest host Elena Bellina learned about the community of Sikh Indians who began migrating to the area in the 1980s. The Sikhs are one of more than 50 different immigrant communities among the town's residents, but they've played an important role in shaping the region. As you'll hear in this episode, the story of this community is one about the search for stability, building and sustaining a sense of home in a new place, and the crossing of cultures.Our guests are Iqbal Singh, vice president of the town's gurdwara, Elena Carletti, the mayor of Novellara, and Barbara Bertolani, a sociologist studying Sikh communities in Italy.LinksElena CarlettiBarbara BertolaniGurdwara Singh Sabha in NovellaraNovellara, Italy"Attending Houses of Worship as Homes Out of the Home" by Barbara Bertolani and Sara BonfantiNovellara photo project by Jai ToorMovement to have Sikhism Formally Recognized by the Italian State (in Italian)Coverage of the 2023 Nagar Kirtan Celebrations (in Italian) Hosted on Acast.

• Crossing Dance

  Our guest today is Momar Ndiaye, assistant professor of dance at Ohio State University (OSU) and a celebrated choreographer. Momar’s work in African dance and contemporary dance is internationally recognized, and he’s toured across the U.S. and abroad. In our conversation, we view migration through the lens of dance and recognize it as an embodied experience. To interview Momar, Eleanor is joined by Amy Shuman, professor emerita at OSU. Her formative work in narrative studies includes books, articles, and collaborations on human rights and political asylum. Momar, Amy, and Eleanor talk broadly about human rights and migration in postcolonial contexts, ideas of how human rights operate and fail, and what that has to do with the crossing of borders.LinksMomar NdiayeAmy ShumanTechnologies of Suspicion and the Ethics of Obligation in Political Asylum edited by Bridget M.
