The Department of Russian Studies invites the Dal community to join "The War in Ukraine and the Global Crisis," an online conversation happening tonight (March 7) from 5-5:45 p.m via Zoom.

The conversation will centre around the ongoing war in Europe and feature Prof. Yuliya Ilchuk of Stanford University. The event will be moderated by Prof. Yuri Leving of Dalhousie.

Time: March 7, 2022, 5 - 5:45 PM
Open for students and faculty of Dalhousie University

Prof. Yuliya Ilchuk (Stanford) is the author of Nikolai Gogol: Performing Hybrid Identity (University of Toronto Press, 2021). Studies of hybridity have informed her recent research projects on othering, protest culture, and memory on the move as socio-cultural responses to the war in Eastern Ukraine. In Ilchuk's most recent book project, tentatively titled “Future in the Past: Memory, Culture, and Identity in Post-Soviet Russia and Ukraine,” she works on the comparative analysis of the memory culture in Russia and Ukraine and examines the parallel development of the two related cultures through their rivalry over the control and dissemination of memory of the Soviet past and recent present.
