Location: HQ Rm 131, first floor, 320 York St.
Russia is the world’s fourth top migration destination. While most migrate to Russia from other post-Soviet countries, a small but highly visible group of the Russian-speaking diaspora has migrated from Europe and North and South America. Lauded in Russian media as “ideological migrants,” the Kremlin claims that they flee liberalism and oppression by the transnational elite. This presentation by Professor Lauren Woodard asks, what really motivates their migration?
April 12-13, 2024 | Yale University | New Haven, CT
This conference will be in-person.

Terrell Jermaine Starr, independent journalist, on “Covering the Russian Invasion of Ukraine as a Black Correspondent”
Terrell will talk with Professor Shore about his work in Ukraine, being an independent journalist, his journey of becoming an expert on Ukraine and Eastern European politics and how he is perceived in the region as a Black American.
This talk encapsulates an ongoing book project about the changing ways we engage in politics when public truths cease to be factual, wars are fought digitally, and knowledge is governed by AI. The 21st century was expected by many to be a time of radical, post-historical enlightenment, marked by an increasing velocity of scientific and technological innovation, interconnection, and knowledge sharing.
