One Year Later, Impacts of Russia's War on Ukraine on Life, Work, and the World

Friday, January 24 marks the one-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We invite you to join us for a special episode of our weekly Zoom series "The World Reconfigured: Consequences of the Russia-Ukraine War." We will be hosting a panel of students and scholars closely connected to Ukraine who will talk about the variety of ways the war has impacted them personally - and how their lives have changed, as a result. We have been studying the global implications of this war and its impact on democracy around the world, but the war is lived experience in different ways for all of us. This week we aim to mix the analytical with the anecdotal, and to share memories of the past as well as thoughts for the future. We thank our guests for their willingness to share a bit of both their stories and their expertise.
