Ep. 25: Sovereignty of the Soul

Baga Guyyaa Gootota Oromoo geessan! In this week's episode, Jaal Maroo and Jaal Aangoo are joined by PhD candidate Madeline Bass, aka Jaal Aagituu, to have a conversation about her research on the concept of sovereignty, the various ways of defining sovereignty, and how it impacts the question for self-determination. We discuss a concept coined by indigenous Muscogee scholar Sarah Deer called “sovereignty of the soul”, which Jaal Aagituu has brought into the Oromo context in her work.
