island conversations
podcast series

Welcome to SICRI’s “island conversations” podcast series.

The aim of these podcasts is to highlight the work of island studies scholars and practitioners who make a significant contribution to islands’ research, arts, and culture landscape.

The podcasts are accompanied by a curated transcript that is edited to read as an independent piece.

"Island Notes" composition in Cretan Flat Mandolin by Christophoro Gorantokaki @"Melody Box"

This podcast has been produced in collaboration with the Okinawan Journal of Island Studies as part of the special volume on island activisms (Vol. 4 no 2 May 2023). You can access the curated transcript on the journal’s site in June 2023 and here from July 2023 onward.
