Slow Memory, Slow Conflict
<p>In this episode of Baltic Ways, Dr. Indra Ekmanis speaks with Professors Violeta Davoliūtė and Ene Kõresaar about their contributions to a special issue of Slovak Ethnology. Co-edited by Davoliūtė, the issue focuses on slow memory. Kõresaar, together with colleague Kristi Jõesalu (who contributed to this episode outside of the recording), brought comparative research on slow conflict in Baltic history museums and the representation of Russophone minorities to the issue. The discussion also explores the academic value of slowing down in research and how this contrasts with the broader pressures to publish quick results.</p><p>Image: <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_Lithuania#/media/File:Lietuvos_nacionalinis_muziejus.jpg">Wikipedia | Nacionalinismuziejus</a></p><p>Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

The Motivation of Memory in Estonian Politics
<p>On June 14, 1941, the Soviet Union deported more than 10,000 people from Estonia to Siberia. Eight years later, Soviet authorities deported 20,000 more. These deportations have left a lasting legacy on Estonian society, though the majority of the population today was not alive to experience them. Decades later, behind the Iron Curtain, those in northern Estonia got a peek of freedom, and the West, through Finnish TV. In this episode of Baltic Ways, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fpri.org/contributor/ben-gardner-gill/">Ben Gardner-Gill</a> is joined by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fpri.org/contributor/isabelle-desisto/">Isabelle DeSisto</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fpri.org/contributor/robert-lipinski/">Robert Lipiński</a> to examine how historical experiences impact political views and participation.</p><p>Image: Estonian World</p><p>Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Minority Identity in Baltic Literature and Film
<p>This episode of the Baltic Ways podcast welcomes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fpri.org/contributor/liina-ly-roos/">Dr. Liina-Ly Roos</a>, assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the German, Nordic, Slavic+ department. The discussion centers on Liina-Ly’s recent book: The Not-Quite Child: Colonial Histories, Racialization, and Swedish Exceptionalism (University of Washington Press, 2025), in which she analyzes films and literature that portray Indigenous Sámi, Tornedalian, and Finnish-speaking children and how these figures disrupt the normative understanding of growing up in Sweden. These cultural texts are filled with tensions of assimilation, invisibility, and the struggle to grow in a society that demands conformity to a specific “Swedishness.” The discussion also considers parallels to the Baltic context. Dr. Roos is a graduate of the University of Washington and a grant recipient from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies.</p><p>Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.
