Sustainability Matters
Sustainability Matters (formerly Humanities Matter)—produced by De Gruyter Brill—takes a deep dive into sustainability in scholarly communications and beyond. The podcast explores topics such as promoting diverse voices and marginalized perspectives in academia, the global accessibility of research, research ethics, combatting misinformation and more. Sustainability Matters features experts, advocates, practitioners, and De Gruyter Brill authors whose work on ethical and sustainable practices breaks boundaries, builds new bonds, and shapes a better future. Join us as we explore how we can shape a more equitable and accessible future for knowledge sharing—because sustainability truly matters, in scholarly publishing, and beyond.

The Stories that Make a Nation

On this episode of Sustainability Matters, we explore how history textbooks shape collective memory in Lebanon. How are national narratives constructed? Are these textbooks as divided as the country's politics, or do they tell a more unified story? And what happens when different communities hold competing versions of the past?
All this and more with Dr. Bouchra Saab, author of History Education in Lebanon and the Borders of the Nation, which is Volume 56 in the series “Studies on Modern Orient” published by De Gruyter Brill.
