A Holocaust survivor from Budapest resists WWII revisionism in Hungary. Swiss Muslim women push back against gendered Islamophobia. Teen girls in Norway fight to prevent the deportation of their Afghan classmate. An Iranian refugee disillusioned by multiculturalism joins a far-right party in Sweden. An Iraqi refugee who lost his family to war finds new purpose in Germany. These are just some of the stories featured in Shifting Borders, a five-part podcast series examining how the forces of nationalism and identity shape people around the world. The episodes are hosted by Princeton University students who reported, scripted and produced the podcast during a Spring 2021 journalism course on international news. (Logo by Juliana Wojtenko)
