I am delighted to be attending and presenting work at three fantastic conferences this year. The first, in May, is the ASN Annual World Convention co-hosted by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University in New York. I visited the institute in 2023 as a result of a travel stipend I was awarded by HREC to atttend the conference “The Assault on Culture in Ukraine: The Holodomor Years”.

In July I travel to London to take part in the ICCEES XI World Congress. The congress is hosted by the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES), the UK’s largest institution for research and teaching on the region. I will combine my visit with archival work at LSE, to read the diaries of Beatrice Webb.
In October I am very excited to be attending and presenting at the Dmytro Shtohryn International Ukrainian Studies Conference at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The thematic focus is on ‘continuities and ruptures’ across disciplines on topics related to Ukraine. For all three conferences I am presenting my new work, documented on this blog – visualisations of testimony from the Holodomor from the letters of Jerry Berman.
