Ukrainian studies in times of war: ways forward

The BYRD postdoc network “Rethinking Ukrainian studies: Understanding the country through Ukrainian voices” cordially invites you to

The panel discussion “Ukrainian studies in times of war: ways forward”

Dr. Tamara Martsenyuk (Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy)
Dr. Inna Melnykovska (Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Central European University; Fellow, HWK Delmenhorst)
Dr. Artem Zakharchenko (Associate Professor, Institute of Journalism, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv / Research Director, Center for Content Analysis; Visiting Fellow, Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research, University of Bremen)

The panel discussion aims to situate the current state of Ukrainian studies in and outside of Ukraine in the context of the ongoing Russian invasion. Our aim is to bring in the voices of Ukrainian researchers from different disciplines to discuss new challenges and opportunities alike that they face now under wartime conditions, from difficulties with field access to shifting perceptions of Ukraine as well as the potential for the study of Ukraine to challenge prevailing concepts or contribute to new theory-building in their respective disciplines.

With financial support from the Bremen Early Career Researcher Development (BYRD) and the Research Centre for East European Studies (FSO) at the University of Bremen
