Scholars and practitioners across diverse disciplines have undertaken various projects intended to document environmental destruction and have organized a number of events. The media reports about the devastating impacts of everyday hostilities on flora and fauna, soil and water. NGO and state institutions collect data to recognize Russia\u2019s actions towards nature as an act of ecocide. This unprecedented interest has brought the topic of Ukraine\u2019s environment and ecological crises to the forefront of global media and scholarship. The Kakhovka dam disruption by the Russian military has uncovered deeper historical contexts of ecological issues. Unravelling current and similar historical relationships stand as the primary objective of environmental historians seeking to elucidate the complexity of the engagement of human with the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>EnvHistUA Research Group is organizing this scholarly conference in order to advance and consolidate the environmental history of Ukraine as a research field and address related challenges. The event aims to bring together scholars to discuss epistemological aspects and practical implications of researching and writing environmental histories of Ukraine that go beyond the realm of disasters and catastrophes. An imperative aspect of this endeavour involves writing, rethinking and diversifying the existing historical narratives about Ukraine\u2019s environment. Our starting point is to expose, conceptualize and analyze the multifacetedness of nature\u2013culture, human\/society \u2013 environment interactions and developments through time and across Ukrainian lands. Secondly, we place great emphasis on transnational, trans-imperial, transborder, and global nexuses Ukraine\u2019s environments were a part of. This epistemological approach holds the potential to unveil hitherto untold narratives, thereby enriching the fabric of history. Finally, the event engages with the question of what environmental history can offer to Ukrainian and European studies, as well as global studies, and vice versa. This knowledge is invaluable in addressing present and future environmental challenges sustainably and responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, please write to <strong>envhistua.official@gmail.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to join the conference online, please use the following <a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/83669069471?pwd=6UauXu1kArIL2W1zOM1qTLaja1n22q.1\">Zoom link.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_6aee7a835359d6_06524484\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"custom_css\">\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<h3>Agenda<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggles toggles_mode_toggle\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_wrap current_toggle h4 {margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px}\" data-tags=\"all \">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_title\">\n<span class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_plus\">\n<span class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_plus_hor\"><\/span>\n<span class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_plus_vert\"><\/span>\n<\/span>\n<a href=\"#\">Wed, 25 Sep 2024<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_inner\">\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>09:00 AM &#8211; 09:45 AM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Registration<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>09:45 AM &#8211; 10:45 AM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Opening Disscussion<\/h2>\n<h3>Welcome messages:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Julia Malitska<\/strong>, S\u00f6dert\u00f6rn University, Sweden<br \/>\n<strong>Oleksii Chebotarov<\/strong>, University of Vienna, Austria<br \/>\n<strong>Anna Olenenko<\/strong>, University of Alberta, Canada; Khortytsia National Academy, Ukraine<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>10:45 AM &#8211; 11:15 AM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Coffee Break<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>11:15 AM &#8211; 12:30 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Session 1: Narrating Landscapes<\/h2>\n<p>Chair: <strong>Oleksii Chebotariov\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presenters:<br \/>\n<strong>Igor Serdiuk<\/strong>, How to Write an Environmental History of the Hetman Region?

These two forms of domination are intertwined but they manifest differently in environmental histories of any given region. Far too often more-than-human histories set in Eastern Europe fall between the cracks of the global East\/West or South\/North divides that structure knowledge production. This lecture will address the epistemological tensions between the colonial and the imperial using the example of captive animal management in Poland at the turn of the twentieth century. Asian elephants and European bison will serve as companions to the reflection on writing global animal history from a local perspective of Eastern Europe. As representatives of charismatic megafauna, these animals inspired colonial longings, anti-imperial resistance, and national sentiments. Historically contingent ideas about exotic and Indigenous species are bound up with global dimensions of wildlife trade, species conservation, and cultural politics practiced at the edges of empires. Recognizing the limits and ambivalences of the colonial\/imperial archives can aid environmental historians in situating localized interspecies relations within the global arena without losing the grasp of the specificity of the semi-peripheral context.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker: <strong>Marianna Szczygielska<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Moderator: <strong>Julia Malitska<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>03:30 PM &#8211; 04:00 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Coffee Break<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>04:00 PM &#8211; 05:30 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Session 2: Cultivating Nature<\/h2>\n<p>Chair: <strong>Julia Malitska<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presenters:<br \/>\n<strong>Vladyslav Hrybovskyi<\/strong>, Seasonal Rhythms of the Location of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, Noghais and Crimean Shepherds in the Great Meadow<br \/>\n<strong>Anthony Amato<\/strong>, The Great Hutsul Plow-Up: Nature, Culture, or What?<\/p>\n<p>Discussant: <strong>Laura Kuen<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>07:00 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Welcome Dinner<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_wrap\" data-tags=\"all \">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_title\">\n<span class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_plus\">\n<span class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_plus_hor\"><\/span>\n<span class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_plus_vert\"><\/span>\n<\/span>\n<a href=\"#\">Thu, 26 Sep 2024<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_toggle_inner\">\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>09:00 AM &#8211; 10:15 AM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Session 3: Contested Waterscapes<\/h2>\n<p>Chair:\u00a0<strong>Anna Olenenko<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presenters:<br \/>\n<strong>Dzhulietta Avanesian<\/strong>, Changing the Dnipro: Discussions on the River Modernization in Imperial Periodicals<br \/>\n<strong>Illia Malyk<\/strong>, Understanding River History: Modern Ukrainian Historiography<\/p>\n<p>Discussant: <strong>Volodymyr Kulikov<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>10:15 AM &#8211; 10:45 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Coffee Break<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>10:45 AM &#8211; 12:30 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Session 4: Extractivism and Environment<\/h2>\n<p>Chair: <strong>Julia Malitska<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presenters:<br \/>\n<strong>Kristina Hook<\/strong>, Ecological and Educational Gaps in Ukrainian Human-Environmental Relations: Enduring Impacts of Moscow\u2019s Extractive Policies and the 1930s Ukrainian Holodomor<br \/>\n<strong>Volodymyr Kulikov<\/strong>, In the Service of Resources: Extractive Company Towns in Eastern Ukraine Across Twentieth-Century Political Regimes<br \/>\n<strong>Kseniia Lopukh<\/strong>, Ecological Economics and the Contribution of Ukrainian Intellectuals S.Podolynskyi, S.Ostapenko, and V.Vernadkyi<\/p>\n<p>Discussant: <strong>Iryna Zamuruieva<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>12:30 PM &#8211; 02:00 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Lunch<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>02:00 PM &#8211; 03:15 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Session 5: Struggle for\/against Nature<\/h2>\n<p>Chair: <strong>Oleksii Chebotariov\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presenters:<br \/>\n<strong>Anastasiia Khovtura<\/strong>, The Struggle for Cleanliness: Waste Management in Kharkiv at the Turn of the 19th and 20th centuries<br \/>\n<strong>Tetiana Perga<\/strong>, An Unequal Struggle: Gophers in Ukraine amid Soviet Modernization and Totalitarian Regime<\/p>\n<p>Discussant: <strong>Marianna Szczygielska<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>03:15 PM &#8211; 03:45 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Coffee Break<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>03:45 PM &#8211; 05:00 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Session 6: Environment and War<\/h2>\n<p>Chair: <strong>Anna Olenenko<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presenters:<br \/>\n<strong>Iryna Zamuruieva<\/strong>, A Field from afar<br \/>\n<strong>Karolina Koziura<\/strong>, Agriculture, and Farmers&#8217; Anxieties along the East European Frontier<\/p>\n<p>Discutant: TBA<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>05:00 PM &#8211; 05:30 PM EEST<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Closing Remarks<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EnvHistUA Research Group is organizing this scholarly conference in order to advance and consolidate the environmental history of Ukraine as a research field and address related challenges.
