On HumansHow War Shapes Our Humanity ~ Greta UehlingWhat does war do to the human psyche? It can traumatise. It can cause grief. It can normalise violence and make demons out of the enemy.

The Voices of War91. Dr Greta Uehling - Understanding the Donbas: Identity, People, and its role in the Russia-Ukraine War
Today, I spoke with Dr Greta Uehling, who is a lecturer at the University of Michigan and whose scholarship is concerned with international migration and forced displacement. Her most recent project explored the subjective experience of the military conflict and forced displacement in Ukraine. Based on years of research living in Ukraine, she documented how the military conflict that started in 2014 reconfigured social worlds and how these social worlds became the site of a different, everyday kind of war. She recently published a book stemming from this research titled ‘Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas, Ukraine’.

Voicemails from HistoryCrimean Tatars in the Soviet Union, with Greta UehlingToday's voicemails are taken from Greta Uehling's book, Beyond Memory: The Crimean Tatars' Deportation and Return.
In this episode, I talk about the history of the Crimean Tatars, a group considered to be Europe's oldest surviving Muslim community. On the 18th of May 1944, Joseph Stalin ordered the en masse deportation of 191,000 Crimean Tatars, signalling an astounding break from previous Soviet policy towards ethnic groups in the late 1920s. I consider how the study of Crimean Tatars challenges the idea that Europe and Asia are 'different' from each other and how the Crimean Tatars have formed a unique s...2021-04-1722 min
