A new anthology of wartime stories by Ukrainian authors is launched today at the University of Edinburgh.

Introducing Our Interns for 2023

June 13, 2023
Amy Life and Rutendo Hoto

Hello, everyone! My name is Rutendo, and I am very excited to introduce myself as the new IASH and RACE.ED Communications and Events Intern. I was born and raised in Zimbabwe, currently study International Relations and International Law, and will be going into my 3rd year this September. Being from Zimbabwe, I have always been curious about decolonial studies and race studies, especially from the Global South perspective, which is what drew me to this internship.
