Ep. 10: A conversation with Zimbabwean scholars on citizen responses to economic decline

This week we chat with three scholars in the diaspora about recent episodes of civil unrest in Zimbabwe. Dr. Chipo Dendere (@drDendere) of Gettysburg College gives us an overview of the recent protests in Zimbabwe and shares insights from her research on remittances and politics. Melusi Nkomo (@MelusiNkomoZim), fellow at Harvard University's Center for African Studies, shares insights about spirituality and party politics in Zimbabwe. Finally, Dr. Zaza Kabayadondo (@ndiniZaza) of Smith College draws on her expertise in design to characterize how citizens are designing and redesigning ways of coping with Zimbabwe's flagging economy. These conversations begin at 2:00.
