You're Invited!
The first “Spotlight on Ukraine” lecture in a series that brings experts in Ukrainian studies to share their insights on Ukrainian society, culture, and history as the country marks a year in its heroic struggle defending the freedom of the democratic world against the aggression perpetuated by the Russian Federation.
The lectures will be in English and are open to the community. They will also include an opportunity for Q&A and public discussions.
The lecture series will highlight the growing community support for Ukraine, including initiatives in the newly-launched MIT-Ukraine Program, Ukraine-focused student groups, and faculty-led research and teaching projects.
