The FNR is pleased to share the newest podcast in the collaboration with Lëtzebuerger Journal. Titled ‘Mäin Element’, the series features researchers in Luxembourg talking about their lives and their passion for science, showing a glimpse of the people behind the science. The seventh episode features law expert Habiba Abubaker.
In this episode of “Mäin Element” we meet law expert Habiba Abubaker from the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg. The podcast covers Habiba’s roots in Sudan, the various military coups that Sudan has experienced in recent years, how the situation has affected Habiba’s life and research.
Habiba introduces her research, explains the tasks of the African Union, and why Islamic law is not quite the same as what we know from TV. We also learn what Condoleezza Rice has to do with her law career, and which comedian is the GOAT [Greatest of All Time] for her.
