Ukraine’s Altered Landscapes: Losing and Recovering Alterity in the Face of War, an interdisciplinary conference organized by the Ukraine in European Dialogue program at the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM, Vienna) will be held on 8-10 November 2023.
Interested participants should submit a brief paper abstract (300 words) along with a CV to ukraine@iwm.at by 18 September 2023.
Scholars and cultural workers of various disciplines and methodologies are invited to take part to reflect together on the following questions:
- How has russia’s ecological destruction altered Ukrainians’ understanding of climate justice in general?
- To what extent is the Ukrainian landscape of inclusion and diversity, which has been transformed by the war, part of a global struggle for the rights of the disabled, LGBTQ+, indigenous people, and other marginalized groups?
- How do the frames of decoloniality shape Ukrainians’ understanding of global decolonial struggles or their conceptualizations of justice and solidarity?
Scholars in all phases of their careers are very welcome. The Institute for Human Sciences will cover travel costs and accommodation for all participants.
