Armenian Institute (London), Zanazan podcast, 3 June 2021

This podcast explores the people behind the Armenian Diaspora Survey. Hosted by this year’s UK qualitative researcher and AI Academic Advisor, Dr. Susan Pattie speaks with ADS Director Dr. Hratch Tchilingirian (at 4:04 minutes) and a number of team members from around the world, including qualitative researchers Dr. Lalai Manjikian in Montreal and Lucila Tossounian in Buenos Aires, and Boston team leader Dr. Pamela Young. We learn how and why ADS exists, who benefits from it, and where to find out more.

The Armenian Diaspora Survey (ADS) was born out of an interest to learn more about what people are thinking about and doing in contemporary Armenian communities across the globe. Led by a team of academics, researchers and experts, the ADS aims to provide a snapshot of the contemporary Diaspora. The project fills a critical gap in the knowledge of the Diaspora and provides evidence-based understanding of the multilayered and diverse aspects of diasporic life. An Advisory Committee of experienced scholars and researchers assists the ADS Director and Team in creating the tools for the research and the analysis of the results. The project is funded by the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, and administered by the Armenian Institute, London.
