DANYLIW RESEARCH SEMINAR ON CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE

Reclaiming Feminist Peace in Ukraine and Broader Central
and Eastern Europe

Western feminist debates have imposed a pacifist agenda as a common hegemonic idea of peace towards and over Ukraine, steering attention away from Russia as a colonial power and imperial aggressor. Challenging these enduring epistemic hierarchies by dismantling the double coloniality of both Western hegemonic tendencies and Russian imperial legacies has thus become urgent. The presentation will discuss the decolonization of the peace narrative.
