<p>Although aid efforts are often seen as purely altruistic and humanitarian, they are usually influenced by forces that have the potential to both unite and divide communities. How do historical crises, like famine in the Ottoman Empire, inform us of modern humanitarian interventions? And are these efforts always truly helpful, or do they perpetuate divisions? Professor Ghazarian addresses these questions, and the ethical dilemmas and hidden consequences of aid. This episode also explores the role historians have in navigating the moral complexities of global crises, reconciling how past events shape current and future humanitarian approaches.</p>
