Positionality, research scope, and motivation: why we are doing what we are doing.
In this introductory episode, Elmira and Grace talk about their motivation and ideas why they decided to launch the series. They closely discuss the definition of "Central Asia" and their positionality towards this topic. Further, they talk about their own research interests: Grace’s focus on nationalism questions in Kazakhstan touches upon memory politics, and Elmira questions the role of women in politics in Kazakhstan.
