On 12–13 October 2023 the symposium “War and Peace in Ukraine” at Bielefeld University brought together scholars from East European studies and Peace and Conflict studies to assess the present state of Ukrainian studies in the German-speaking world and to reflect on possible future developments of the field. Organized by a large team of scholars from Bielefeld and other institutions, the program sought above all to explore the possibilities for collaboration and the mutual enrichment of East European and Peace and Conflict Studies, two disciplines that have rediscovered their commonalities since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Lectures and discussions from the conference were recorded by the History video team at Bielefeld University and published on L.I.S.A.
