Postwar in War: Ukrainian reparations
Ukrainians are not waiting until the cessation of fighting to rebuild their lives. Presenting recent documentation of reparative cultural practices in wartime Ukraine, Fiona Greenland will discuss how these practices serve to repair individuals and communities, and why the concept of postwar in war challenges sociological thinking about the role of states in establishing conditions for restitution.
