Diaspora Mobilization in Times of Crisis: Lessons from the MENA Region

In this episode, we have Dalia Abdelhady, Associate Professor in Sociology at Lund University, joining us in a conversation on diasporas. 

We'll discuss how events back home, whether natural disasters or political crises affect diaspora communities and how they engage with their homelands. 

We are also joined by Hamza Ouhaichi, a board member of the Moroccan Association in Malmö, Sweden, and a PhD student in computer science at Malmö University. Hamza will talk about how they work with community support at the Moroccan Association in Malmö and their recent emergency response efforts after the devastating earthquake in Morocco.
