Shu Kaman Podcast

Shu Kaman is a graduate student-run podcast that delves beyond the surface with scholars of the Arab world. It is produced by students in the MA in Arab Studies at Georgetown University in affiliation with the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS). Shu Kaman has provided an outlet to connect with the region from afar at a time when the current political climate is driving us further apart. In the midst of genocide, dispossession, political collapse, and fragmentation across the Arab world, the podcast has held onto something essential: care for the region, emotional investment, and intellectual commitment —and shown that these do not disappear under pressure. Our guests, students and scholars alike, have demonstrated through their words and actions that even in times of calamity, love for the region and its people remains stronger than the forces that seek to divide and dehumanize us. That love is what Shu Kaman? came out of, and what it continues to hold.
