  • Summary

  • In the second episode of the CEU Review of Books Podcast Series, we sat down with Andreea Cârstocea and Raul Cârstocea to talk about their research on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on Roma communities on the borders of the European Union in: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine. In the podcast we discuss how the pandemic and the first lockdown impacted the Roma communities in the areas of education, healthcare, employment, housing and the increase in hate speech and racist incidents. Andreea is Senior Researcher and Head of the Cluster Equality & Inclusion at the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI). Andreea is also a co-editor of the ECMI Minorities Blog. Raul is Lecturer in Twentieth-Century European History at Maynooth University, Ireland, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Leicester.
