Tongue tied – do you speak your mother's tongue?

Kúnmi speaks to people who grew up with a home or family language different to a dominant societal one. Heritage speakers, as they're often called (who sometimes do not actually speak the language at all) feel a connection to the associated 'minority' culture which at times leads to complex relationship with the language.

In the year of indigenous languages, this episode sought to ask what some people feel their indigenous language is.

We heard from two languages (Yoruba and Spanish) and two generations to get their perspective on what it feels to be caught between two tongues.

This podcast was recorded at SOAS Radio.

In the fourth episode of the SOAS Humanitarian Hub Podcast, Jake Tacchi talks with Dr. Claudia Seymour about her book: 'The Myth of International Protection, War and Survival in the Congo'.

Dr. Seymour's book presents a highly engaging, and very readable, amalgamation of her own experiences working within the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)as a child protection adviser, alongside her subsequent PhD research. We discussed many themes that arose from the book, as well as the difficulties of moving between humanitarianism and academia.

In the third episode of the SOAS Humanitarian Hub Podcast, Jake Tacchi talks with SOAS's Professor Steve Hopgood about his latest article: 'When the Music Stops, Humanitarianism in a Post Liberal World Order'.

Amidst a shifting away from a liberal world order, most notably exemplified by the rise of China over the last 30 years, Professor Hopgood argues that humanitarianism and human rights as we know them are likely to suffer. He argues that, because such concepts are underpinned by the values of Western Liberalism, they will hold less dominance in the international sphere. As we move away from a Western-dominated global environment, the foundations of humanitarianism and human rights will be shaken as there is a greater focus on state sovereignty, not individual rights.
