Lili Toitot: Narratives of Nation - Alsace and Identity

Technecast

In the first episode of our new theme, 'Narratives of Nation', Lili Toitot, PhD researcher at Brunel, tells Edwin about her work on the mixed national identity of the French region of Alsace. An Alsatian herself, Lili examines the documentation of the region's history through the lens of gender and war memorials. The question that emerges from this episode is: what can we learn from Alsace about nationhood and national identity?Image credit: Lili Toitot.
