In this episode of Meet the PhDs, I am joined by Anna Herran, a PhD candidate in History exploring the links between memory, identity, and statehood in twentieth-century East Central Europe and the Baltic region.

We discuss her comparative research on Czech and Estonian experiences of statehood, the role of collective memory, national holidays, and how historical narratives travel within diaspora communities.

A thoughtful conversation about how we remember the past - and why it still matters today.
