Have you ever asked yourself: Who am I? What is my true self?

I know I have. For at least the past 20 years. Ever since I moved to Sweden from Russia when I was 14, I felt torn between the two countries. People asked me all the time: "So, do you feel Russian or are you Swedish now?" I never knew how to answer. So I just said – "it’s complicated".

This podcast is about identity. What is identity? How do we find it? I reflect on our search for belonging, as we sail the dangerous waters of nationalism.

This podcast is produced for the course "Ethnography and multiculturalism", given as part of the Master's of Anthropology at Uppsala University.
