The Oxford Ukraine Hub is an interdisciplinary network connecting expertise across the University of Oxford with international researchers and practitioners working on Ukraine-related issues. By placing Ukraine at the centre of scholarly inquiry, we aim to disrupt long-established epistemological hierarchies within Slavic and East European studies.
Our podcast series brings together diverse voices and perspectives to explore Ukraine's past, present, and future through various disciplinary lenses.
