One of two interviews about nomadism. Is the fact of becoming a nomad connected with the desire for the new or with fear? What does capitalism have to do with nomadism? What is the psyche like of nomads by choice, and of those who are forced to become nomads? Why is it trendy to be “bohemian” and live in campers and where does it come from? Can you define lorry drivers as nomads? What can nomadism teach you? And, obviously, we will talk about the film Nomadland.

We will discuss all of this with Dr Joanna Grzymała-Moszczyńska, a social psychologist, anti-discrimination trainer, activist who deals with the psychological aspects of the migration experience and who conducted research on children returning from emigration.
