Postdoctoral Lecture with Zarqa Parvez | Nationalism in Transition: From the Regional to the Local

How do we understand nationalism as it actually functions, changing, remerging, reappearing, beyond just a fixed category? This talk explores how nationalism and national identity in the region is being reshaped by several factors: migration, economic change, and generational shift.
