Ukraine's European History: Nationhood in the Age of Empires

Ukraine's European History: Nationhood in the Age of Empires is the first event in a new series exploring Ukraine's history as part of European history. The discussion examines how modern Ukrainian national identity emerged while Ukrainian territories were divided among rival empires and political orders.

The conversation traces a line through several centuries - from earlier traditions of self-governance and the legacy of the Hetmanate to the 19th and early 20th centuries, when language, identity, political representation, and national belonging became increasingly significant. The discussion explores how these different historical experiences shaped the emergence of a modern Ukrainian political community, and how Ukraine's path to nationhood was connected to the broader transformations taking place in Europe.

📅 8 October, 15:00-16:30
