S1/E3 Raka Shome: Whiteness and the ‘spectre of Diana‪’‬ Surviving Society

This episode discusses the role of whiteness and gender inequality in reproducing the monarchy. With Dr Raka Shome (Villanova University)

Welcome to Surviving Society Presents - “the global power of the British monarchy’ In these episodes, we will be looking to challenge existing conversations about the British monarchy. Often in popular discourse, the monarchy is taken for granted as a part of British culture. With expert guests, the podcast tells a story of the ‘other side’ of monarchy. From its links to Empire and colonialism, to issues of wealth accumulation and nationalism, the series sets out to disrupt common sense understandings and undertake a critical analysis of the Firm and its various intersections with inequality.

This series has been executively produced by Laura Clancy
