MEMORY POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: INSIGHTS FROM THE RUSSO-UKRAINIAN WAR

Join us on April 28 for a compelling panel discussion exploring how the Russo-Ukrainian War is reshaping global memory politics.
How is the war transforming the way nations remember and instrumentalize the past?

Our panelists will explore these questions through national and transnational case studies — and what they mean for the future of international relations.

Panelists:
👤 Thomas Fetzer
👤 Ivan Nikolovski
👤 Ljiljana Radonić
👤 Patryk Labuda
