Between Reason and Emotion: The Syriacs' Experience of Law, Identity, and Survival

Guest: Kadir Eryilmaz (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology). In this episode, Christopher Murphy talks with Kadir Eryilmaz about his ethnographic field research on the Syriacs, a small and often overlooked community from Turkey. They explore how marginalized groups, like the Syriacs, form their understanding of the law and how their experiences shape their views on human rights. Through real-life examples, they discuss how past interactions with legal authorities shape the way people approach the law today.
