2. Ricarda Stegmann – Entangled History in Paris

In this episode we meet our first international guest, Ricarda Stegmann (unifr.ch), a Lecturer in the Study of Religion at the University of Fribourg, in Switzerland. Ricarda will tell us about the religious and political role of the Grand Mosque of Paris and introduce us to the analytical approach known as "entangled history." Her latest book is titled, "Verflochtene Identitäten Die Große Moschee von Paris zwischen Algerien und Frankreich. (vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com)" (V&R, 2019) but if you are looking for a reading in English, this is a book chapter on the same topic: Between Orient and Occident? The Colonial Legacy at the Grand Mosque of Paris (link.springer.com).
