Delegation trip to Ukraine

For Project PUBLISH: Children’s Books in the Russia-Ukraine War

In early April, a joint Danish-Ukrainian team of researchers kicked off a new research project, PUBLISH: Children’s Books in the Russia-Ukraine War, with a trip to Ukraine, where they visited both Kyiv and Lviv to meet with Ukranian scholars, establish networks and collect research materials.

Our Department of Global Studies was represented by Birgitte Beck Pristed and Nadiia Pavlyk, who conducted in-depth interviews with directors of some of the leading Ukrainian children’s book publishers, and brought some 30 children’s books about the war back with them.

The project came about as a result of Birgitte and Nadiia meeting and discussing their research at the Ukrainian Scholars Days, a biannual event organised by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters and The Danish Young Academy. The two presented their project there last month to great interest and acclaim (in Danish).

The Power of Memes

In Ukrainian Online Resistance

On October 24, we welcomed Tine Munk, a Senior Lecturer in the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department at Nottingham Trent University.

She delivered a compelling presentation called “Click, Share, Resist: The Power of Memes in the Ukrainian Online Resistance.” Drawing from her recent book, “Memetic War: Online Resistance in Ukraine,” Munk discussed the significance of memes as powerful tools for countering propaganda and misinformation in the digital age.

She demonstrated how social media platforms have become battlegrounds for information, where memes play a pivotal role in shaping narratives. Memes simplify complex ideas, making them easily shareable and digestible, reaching a broad audience. In Ukraine, state and non-state actors alike are utilizing memes to battle misinformaiton by challenging false narratives.

We are grateful to have attended such an insightful lecture, and thank Tine Munk for her dedication.

The conference was attended by both Danish and Ukrainian speakers, including Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Kingdom of Denmark Mykhailo Vydoinyk, Nobel Peace Prize 2022 Laureate Oleksandra Matviychuk, Lotte Holm, Deputy Director of the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, and others.

The conference was a hybrid event (online/offline). The purpose of the conference was to discuss the current state of the socio-economic and scientific-educational sectors in Ukraine, the vision, and plans for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, and to bring together scholars from different disciplines to establish links between scholars in Ukraine and abroad. Each panel of the conference consisted of three or four 15-minute presentations followed by a panel discussion.
