	The Future Eastern Part of Europe: Ukraine, Russia	Tue, 13.09.2022, 18:00	Panels and Discussions	Ivan Vejvoda Oksana Forostyna Veronica Anghel Balázs Jarábik	The Future Eastern Part of Europe: Ukraine, Russia Tue, 13.09.2022, 18:00 Speakers: Ivan Vejvoda Oksana Forostyna Veronica Anghel Balázs Jarábik Series: Panels and Discussions The promise of EU membership of Ukraine epitomized by the recent candidacy is certainly one of the aspects that will define the country’s future. What does the recent history of EU enlargement suggest? Who will prevail in the clash of narratives and actions employed by both the proponents and the opponents of EU enlargement? Are we witnessing a revival of European integration or possibly a worsening of East-West and other divisions within the European Union? What are the immediate implications of the war on Ukraine and the larger impact on the (Western part of the) EU’s Eastern Neighborhood, e.g. the direct neighbors Belarus and Moldova? And, where will Russia (crash)land in the wake of its brutal war of aggression? Read more

	Sex/Gender in the Brain: Critical Notes on fMRI-Studies	Mon, 12.09.2022, 16:00	Seminars and Colloquia	Anelis Kaiser Trujillo Clemena Antonova	Sex/Gender in the Brain: Critical Notes on fMRI-Studies Mon, 12.09.2022, 16:00 Speakers: Anelis Kaiser Trujillo Clemena Antonova Series: Seminars and Colloquia In this talk, Anelis Kaiser Trujillo aimed to present and discuss how sex/gender is categorized, treated, measured and discovered in (f)MRI studies, i.e., in studies that look at how women and men differ in structure and function of the brain. Central to her research is a transdisciplinary background in neuroscience and gender studies. While in neuroscience gender is a hard variable, in gender studies it is a social phenomenon, a result and a facet of human action and social structures––in short: a social construct. Kaiser Trujillo’s aim is to bridge the divide between these two epistemologically different approaches. Read more

	The EU, the Ukraine War and the Meaning of Resilience	Thu, 08.09.2022, 18:00	Lecture	Ivan Vejvoda Nathalie Tocci	The EU, the Ukraine War and the Meaning of Resilience Thu, 08.09.2022, 18:00 Speakers: Ivan Vejvoda Nathalie Tocci Series: Lecture Resilience can both mean the readiness to withstand pain and the ability to bounce back and transform. Against the backdrop of the Ukraine war, Vladimir Putin banks on the EU’s low threshold of pain endurance, be it in terms of bearing the energy and economic costs of the war, its defense implications or the long-term societal acceptance of refugees. The EU instead relies on its inherent DNA to transform crises into opportunities for the integration project. As the Ukraine war grinds on, which interpretation of resilience is more likely to win the day? Read more

In this talk, Stanley argued that the history of the United States, as well as its present situation, justifies these concerns. More specifically, Stanley argued that the anti-democratic form that is emerging in the United States is a kind of racial fascism. Europe should prepare for the possibility of a fascist United States. Read more

	Ukrainian War, Refugees, and Human Rights in a Global Context	Wed, 06.07.2022, 14:00	Panels and Discussions	Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Randall Hansen Ayşe ÇağlarAlex Aleinikoff, Grażyna Baranowska, Olena Fedyuk	Ukrainian War, Refugees, and Human Rights in a Global Context Wed, 06.07.2022, 14:00 Speakers: Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Randall Hansen Ayşe ÇağlarAlex Aleinikoff, Grażyna Baranowska, Olena Fedyuk Series: Panels and Discussions The Ukrainian war unleashed unprecedented displacements in Europe, unseen since WWII. Most of the borders in Europe and throughout the world were opened to Ukrainians - in contrast to the restrictive border regimes many recent refugee movements to Europe, such as the Syrian or Afghani refugees fleeing war, were subject to. A series of schemes were developed to welcome Ukrainian refugees and emplace them into the labor markets and educational systems of their host countries. Instead of approaching the current Ukrainian refugee movement as unique and singular, this panel aimed to situate its dynamics within a broader context of refugee movements in Europe and beyond. It further placed it in conversation with the historical, political, and social contexts that cause such movements in the first place and seeks to explore it in relation to and together with other refugee movements globally.
