What are some of the questions that listeners can take with them from this podcast series?
In this final episode we begin by exploring some of the unresolvable questions around what it means to make home as migrants – whether stateless or not - on stolen sovereign Aboriginal land.
We then listen to a recording of a conversation held in early October 2024 between our host, Jordana, and two participants in the oral history project and podcast: Niro Kandasamy and Hasib Hourani. This conversation provides a discussion of what an oral history project like this offers – what are its opportunities, possibilities, and limitations.

Being Stateless is a podcast about people in Australia who have been stateless. About their memories, experiences, and histories.
Across a series of oral history interviews, Jordana Silverstein – a historian and descendant of stateless refugees – has brought together people living in Australia who share stories, insights, knowledge and experiences of statelessness.
In this podcast series, join Jordana and the interviewees to learn about how we can understand and describe statelessness, citizenship, and what it means to belong somewhere.

This episode was recorded and produced on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present. Sovereignty has never been ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We are grateful to First Nations writers, activists, scholars and artists from across the continent, from whom we continue to learn so much.
This podcast comes from the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness and is funded in part by the Australian Research Council. Michael Green was the Story Editor and it was produced by Greta Robenstone.
