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.

How were state formation and early modern politics shaped by the state’s proclaimed obligation to domestic welfare? Drawing on a wide range of historical scholarship and primary sources, this book demonstrates that a public interest-based discourse of state legitimation was common to early modern England, Japan, and China. This normative platform served as a shared basis on which state and society could negotiate and collaborate over how to attain good governance through providing public goods such as famine relief and infrastructural facilities.
Populism has a complicated relationship with power and democratic institutions. Conventional wisdom assumes that populists cannot last in power; they either become mainstream or turn authoritarian. Such hypotheses are arguably rooted in systematic, anti-populist theorizations, which view populism always as a threat to democracy, connecting it with demagogy and irresponsibility and understanding it as a force that belongs to the opposition.
One of the most underreported human catastrophes of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is the ongoing cultural and existential erasure of the country’s Nadazov Greek population, which, prior to the war, constituted the third-largest ethnic group (after Ukrainians and Russians) in the bitterly contested Donetsk region. Most of these Greeks were concentrated in and around the city of Mariupol, which they founded after Catherine the Great had resettled them from their ancient homeland of Crimea in 1778.
The seminar led by Dr. Raphaela Schweiger will delve into the profound impacts of digitalization and technological advancements on migration and refugee policies.

Technology has already begun reshaping the experiences of migrants, refugees, and those on the move.
