In Survivor’s Guilt listeners hear from Lebanese Syrian Armenian student Maria Keshderian whose advocacy journey has taken her from her homeland in Lebanon to volunteering in Armenia to studying on the MA Public Advocacy & Activism at University of Galway. Maria reflects on the experiences of growing up in an Armenian village in Lebanon, how she narrowly escaped injury in the 2020 explosion in Beirut and her work with a non-profit organisation supporting women and girls in Armenia. We also hear why she chose Galway to further her education, her experiences at university as a Middle Eastern woman and why she feels right at home in the city, concluding the episode by choosing her favourite song (the song in this upload is abridged for rights reasons).
