North Star Journey Live: Lessons on belonging from the international student potluck

Newcomers to America — be they immigrants, refugees or even international students — have access to a variety of social services to help them begin a new life. But do they feel like they belong? That was the topic of discussion at the North Star Journey Live conversation recorded in Moorhead, Minn., on Nov. 21. MPR News senior reporter Sarah Thamer traveled to Concordia College for the international student potluck to talk with people who are dedicated to making the Fargo-Moorhead area welcoming. The founder of the Fargo Moorhead International Potluck shared how food can be used as a bridge to cross cultures. Community leaders who work with the growing immigrant population in northwest Minnesota agreed that simple things like being able to find spices to replicate food from home goes a long way to making newcomers feel seen. A trio of international students studying at Concordia also shared their experiences and offered advice on how to cultivate belonging amidst diversity. Pro tip: Don’t be afraid of discomfort. It’s a necessary part of the process. Guests: Peter Schott is the founder of the Fargo-Moorhead International Potluck. Fowzia Adde is the executive director of the Immigrant Development Center in Moorhead. Zoë Absey is a board member at the New American Consortium for the Fargo-Moorhead region. Siam Shimul, Timea Vrabcova and Alecious Togbah are international students studying at Concordia College. Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

Special interview: Richard Flanagan’s exploration of history, family and human interconnection in ‘Question 7’

Author Richard Flanagan recently completed a remarkable literary double: already a Booker Prize winner for his novel “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” he just won this year’s prestigious Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction for his latest book “Question 7.” It’s an audacious memoir, lyrical examination of the interconnections of history and family. He considers how a famed author’s illicit kiss with a woman who was not his wife may have led to the creation of the atomic bomb, and then in turn resulted in Flanagan’s own birth. The Baillie Gifford Prizes chief judge described the book as “an intricately woven exploration of the chains of consequence that frame a life.” Speaking recently from his home in Hobart, Tasmania, Flanagan told MPR News senior editor Euan Kerr the book arose from the disconnection of the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you are, npr will bend head over heels to share your story, never willing to examine the other side of such stories, narratives. It makes for easy reporting, news gathering, but leaves us all less informed at the end of the day
