Millikin University’s Office of Campus Life, Center for International Education, and History and Political Science Department will host a scholarly panel on the war in Ukraine on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, at 6 p.m. The panel discussion will be held in the Bob and Debi Johnston Banquet Room, located on the 3rd floor of the University Commons on Millikin University’s campus. The event is free to community members as well as Millikin students and staff.
The panel discussion will feature the Director of Ukrainian Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Roman Ivashkiv as well as University of Illinois graduate student Sofiia Dunets, and Millikin University Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Laura Dean. The panel members will discuss the seeds of this invasion and the war focusing on the humanitarian response and political outcomes. They will also analyze elements of Ukrainian culture which have produced this united response to Russian aggression.
Attendees can support Ukraine by bringing a donation which will be sent to Nova Ukraine, a humanitarian organization in Ukraine, and Razom’s Emergency Response which provides critical medical supplies to Ukrainians during the war.
