Voices: The EISA Podcast is the official broadcast of EISA, the European International Studies Association. This space for cutting-edge research in the discipline of International Relations is the audible companion to EISA. Apart from our flagship conference, the EISA organises a range of innovative events and activities for scholars and students working in the field of International Studies. This podcast sets the stage for deeper insights into award-winning papers, books and theses, as much as it provides a room for the critical engagement with key concepts in political and sociological thought. Voices: The EISA Podcast traces how these concepts have been taken up in the discipline of IR. It interrogates their emergence, their gendered and racialized omissions, and their relevance to current debates and analyses. Through our erudite interview guests, a wide range of critical reading, and reflections on our everyday experiences, Voices: The EISA Podcast helps to think through core IR concepts.

In this episode, we are joined by Noam Leshem (Durham University) to discuss his new book Edges of Care: Living and Dying in No Man’s Land. Noam Leshem explores the spatial politics of abandonment, highlighting how marginalised communities – like the Israeli Black Panthers fought against systemic discrimination faced by Mizrahi Jews in the 1970s united with marginalised Palestinians - found moments of solidarity in shared struggles against state neglect. Noam Leshem is associate professor of Political Geography at Durham University where he works closely with communities grappling with the impacts of violent conflict, emphasising creative methods and innovative collaborations. He is the current holder of a large grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council UK looking at the ability of displaced communities to determine the fate of cultural heritage collections when they are denied access to ancestral land that includes collaborations with museums and cultural institutions in the UK and Palestine. This project emerges out of earlier research focused on Arab urban space in Israel after the 1948 War that was the subject of his first book, Life After Ruin: The Struggles over Israel’s Depopulated Arab Spaces published by Cambridge University Press.
Tune in to learn more about Noam Leshem’s unique perspective on resilience, radical uncaring, and the possibilities for political imagination in forgotten places.
