This podcast introduces research on antiracism, solidarity, community-building, time and temporalities. We are interested in antiracist activities and understandings of antiracism in a time when class relations are increasingly racialised and the caring functions of the Nordic welfare state are eroded. The podcast is created by the researchers in the project “Becomings: Temporalities, Solidarities and Social Class in Antiracism”.
The project is funded by the Research Council of Finland and located at The Centre for Research on Ethnic Relations and Nationalism (CEREN), Swedish School of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki. We will be recording episodes to the podcast throughout the project period from 2025 to 2028. The podcast is created by professor Suvi Keskinen, postdoctoral researchers Ali Ali and Ameera Masoud-Jaakonaho and doctoral researcher Emma Grillo Kajava .
Episode 1: Introduction
Ali Ali, Emma Grillo Kajava, Suvi Keskinen and Ameera Masoud-Jaakonaho introduce the podcast and the ideas behind it.
Episode 2: The concept of racial time and rest
This episode introduces the concept of racial time, a concept which Ameera Masoud-Jaakonaho will explore and further develop as part of the Becomings project.
Racial time will be explored in greater depth in later episodes.
