The concepts of ''Us'' and ''Them'' are deeply embedded in human thought, shaping our perceptions of identity, belonging, and alterity throughout human history. From geopolitical tensions to cultural misunderstandings, the dynamics of ''Us and Them'' resonate across different disciplines, offering a platform to examine the logic of this dichotomy. The HGGS Podcast Series “Us and Them” aims to provide a new platform for academic exchange and visibility, where guest professors and PhD students discuss topics from their academic work related to our overarching theme, “Us and Them."
