Winter School 2026 “Ukrainian Migration in Europe and Globally in the 20th and 21st Century”

This event is part of the Winter School 2026 “Ukrainian Migration in Europe and Globally in the 20th and 21st Century” in Munich, organized by “Denkraum Ukraine” / “Think Space Ukraine” at the University of Regensburg, financed by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) through the funds from the Federal Foreign Office (AA), the Ukrainian Free University (UFU, Munich), the Bukovina Institute at the University of Augsburg, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (Slavic Department) and the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) Regensburg. 

The Winter School addresses the issue of Ukrainian migration within its manyfold dimensions. Over 25 international speakers will deepen into a larger historical perspective of Ukrainian migration in the 20^th and 21^st century. They will discuss how Ukrainian culture, in particular literature, mirrors migration, explore how Ukrainians have experienced flight and migration, considering their age and gender. The legal and political dimensions of the phenomenon, including the regional dynamics of migration, as well as the perception of Ukrainians and Russia’s war against Ukraine will also be in the focus of the event.

The full program for the Winter School is available here.
