Sephardi Modernities: Conversations Across Borders is a new podcast hosted by Angy Cohen and Yuval Evri, launching in September 2026 through the Center for Human and Social Sciences of the Spanish National Research Council.
The podcast will explore the cultural, political, and intellectual histories of Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Through conversations with scholars, writers, artists, and musicians, it will engage questions of diaspora, language, memory, migration, colonialism, decolonization, and Jewish identity across the Arab and Muslim world.
Emerging from years of dialogue and collaborative learning, the podcast approaches Sephardi modernity as a dynamic space of encounter, continuity, transformation, and border-crossing.Â
