Join us in Hungary to talk with Jekatyerina Dunajeva, assistant professor and researcher. With her, we are exploring the role “borders” play in expanding solidarity across Europe.
Drawing on the case of the Romani movement, Jekatyerina shares with us about the challenges of shaping an identity across borders and what it means to have different identities.
