RETHINK. Objects, models, and methods in Humanities and Social Sciences since the invasion of Ukraine
Seminar within the program of the CEFRES non-residential fellowships for Ukrainian scholars in humanities and social sciences, 2023
From May 2023, the CEFRES Ukraine fellows in Humanities and Social Sciences will remotely present their current research projects in discussion with Czech, French, and international specialists of respective fields. Our goal is to analyze what the Russian invasion has done to our disciplines, objects, methods of research and ways of thinking. Together, we invite fellows, colleagues in situ and all interested public to rethink:
a. concrete projects and debates regarding knowledge under war conditions: connecting researchers, enhancing critical thinking and teaching while developing interactive tools;
b. methods and models of research facing the war: addressing displacement, disinformation, minority rights or cultural property;
c. epistemological objects – such as memory, identity, heritage, discipline, area, border, territory… – brutally (re)defined by the conflict and observed both by fellows in Ukraine and colleagues abroad.
Through the presentation of both research projects already developed or work-in-progress launched recently, the seminar aims above all at building longer-lasting collaborations between Ukrainian fellows and colleagues in the Czech Republic, V4 countries or France.
All discussions are held in English in an interdisciplinary spirit.
The seminar takes place monthly online & at the CEFRES Library and gathers Ukrainian fellows, colleagues, or PhD students from France and the Czech Republic, among others.
The seminar is a part of the French Center for Research in Humanities and Social Sciences (CEFRES) program of non residential fellowships for Ukrainian researchers in humanities and social sciences, developed in close collaboration with the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the French Embassy, and Institute in Ukraine as well as Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences.
