Tartu Conference, Shevchenko Scientific Society Webinar, Europe in a Time of War



 

I am delighted to announce I have a paper accepted and I will be presenting at the Tartu Conference on East European and Eurasian Studies. The conference is at the University of Tartu, the programme is online and includes a fantastic mix of work from area studies, politics, history, cultural studies and other disciplines. My paper is “Archives Across Borders: Animated Testimonies from Ukraine in the Holodomor”. The conference will serve as a deadline for me to complete stage one of the practical work on the Berman archives.



 

 

On March 7 I attended the XLV Annual Shevchenko Scholarly Conference Webinar online from the Shevchenko Scientific Society. The conference, in English and Ukrainian, included opening remarks from Vitaly Chernetsky and presentations from Rory Finnin and Михайло Назеренко. The discussant was George G. Grabowicz.

 

 

Last week I watched a recorded talk from March from the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute online, Anne Applebaum in Conversation with Serhii Plokhii: Europe in a Time of War. This was a compelling discussion focusing on autocratic regimes and the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. A genuine conversation between two scholars in historical studies and journalism. Anne Applebaum wrote the foreword to “The Holodomor in Global Perspective”. I wrote the final chapter to the book, which is now available from ibidem Press and Columbia University Press online here: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-holodomor-in-global-perspective/9783838219530/
