What's In A Name?
Thursday, 8th June 2023 | 19:00 - 21:00
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
Or would it? In this episode from the Kerning Cultures podcast, we go back to a story from 2017 about one of the most basic things: names.
We hear how one family changed their name after moving from Iraq to the US so that it’s easier for non-Arabic speakers to pronounce. But this change would impact their lives in ways they couldn’t predict.
Join us for a rich discussion about names, heritage, culture, and identity.
