The Alfred Landecker Programme is pleased to host Dr Olga Onuch, Professor Volodymyr Kulyk and Dr Dmytro Vovk for a roundtable on the relationship between Ukrainian national identity and ethnic/religious plurality.
Ukraine has historically been home to a large number of ethnic, religious and ethno-religious identities, many of which are connected to specific regions within Ukraine.
When Western scholars speak of nation and nationalism, they often divide states between ‘ethnic’ or ‘civic’ nations: how do these designations map onto social realities in Ukraine? How is Ukrainian national identity shaping and being shaped by its internal plurality? And how has the Russian invasion impacted on internal discourses on identity and belonging? Which differences have become more important? And which differences less so? How is the role of Ukrainian national identity changing in domestic and international politics? And what are the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead?
The roundtable is hosted by Dr Marietta van der Tol and research assistant Ms Liza Raichynets. The event will take place in person, with Dr Onuch and Dr Vovk visiting the School, and Professor Kulyk joining over Zoom.
