Join visiting Fulbright researcher Rozafa Berisha for a talk exploring how young women from low-income backgrounds navigate hope and disappointment in a deindustrializing town in north Kosovo. Berisha's ethnography examines the disconnect between aspirations and lived realities, rethinking the politics of hope under global capitalism within a state project that struggles to fulfill its promises.
