Identity in 2021: How can we be grounded in our identites? A conversation with writer Nancy Herz
In this episode of Political Bark, I have the pleasure of having writer and activist Nancy Herz with me as a guest, speaking on the topic of 'Identity in 2021'. Growing up in Norway, with Lebanese parents, Nancy is the product of a multicultural, multi-religious and multi-linguistic background: What effect has that had on her, from a youngster until today? I have always been curious about how we can help young people create strong foundations and strong identities, even in very multicultural and bipolar societies, such as the way in which Norway can be at times. The future holds for more multicultural and international populations, not less; it is therefore our responsibility, us being 'a mixed bunch' to make way and to create equitable and strong foundations, that can thrive in multi-polarity, multi-ethnic and multicultural settings. Nancy Herz is an expert at this. Tune in! (Picture by Leikny Havik Skjærseth)
