Big times in London at the #ICCEES! Great panels & talks, wonderful material at the British Library & new cooperations ahead: During the next months, I’ll be a Visiting Fellow at the LSE & continue working with the amazing @dinalog.bsky.social on the Wilsonian Moment in Eastern Europe 💪

Exeter University was represented by a diverse group of scholars at the XI World Congress of ICCEES, held in London from 21 to 25 July 2025 @katharineh.bsky.social @catherineowen.bsky.social

XI ICCEES World Congress

Even iat the other end of the hybrid screen, I was thrilled to be part of the XI ICCEES World Congress in my beloved London. I participated in a fantastic panel with interesting papers and outstanding researchers on women’s stories from feminism to motherhood. www.myeventflo.com/event.aspx?m...

Thank you for @aelmgren.bsky.social for taking pics during my presentation. It felt great to share my research. I got great questions, and we had some further follow-up chat after the panel. Thank you for the organisers for their great work, it was a really inspiring event. 👏 #iccees2025

This week at the #ICCEES2025, I spoke about a stork as a messenger of spring and wonder, an ancestor who always finds its way home, and a body that bleeds and dies in the war. Grateful to other panelists, everyone who listened, and to all the friends I made in London!

Back from #ICCEES2025 in London where we had a great conference: stimulating panels and debates, meeting with old and new colleagues and friends… Lots of projects in the pipeline! I even managed not to buy too many books. 📚

The people in the photo enjoy spending time reading through kilometres of documents produced by the secret services, trying to extract any trace of meaning from them. It was a great joy to co-organise a panel on preventative policing and repression in the USSR and Czechoslovakia at #ICCEES2025

Kamila Fiałkowska @kamilafialkowska.bsky.social and Ivan Kozachenko from the Centre of Migration Research (CMR) took part in this year’s ICCEES XI World Congress, held from 21–25 July 2025 at University College London 1/3

Another ERC CivilWars paper at ICCEES 2025. Gwendal Piègais @gwendalpiegais.bsky.social presenting his fascinating research on humanitarian efforts in Ukraine in 1918-1921.

Just registered #ICCEES25

I picked up some luvly stuff (!) Also, the publishers' exhibitions are constant temptation for a book dragon like me...🐉#iccees2025

Program entry for panel on „Contesting Media and Feminism in Contemporary Russia” at ICCEES

Just attended an outstanding panel presenting results of a research group investigating various aspects of feminist online activism. (And also came away with one more reason to love Alla Pugacheva!) #ICCEES2025

Greetings from the #ICCEES2025 conference in London! After a great start yesterday, day two is off to a promising beginning – I even found the first panel on the first try. 😎

Harrowing, but so important.

At #iccees2025, a simple but effective and moving exhibition: 'Unissued diplomas'--honouring the memory of students killed in the #RussiaUkraineWar.

@georgegilbert.bsky.social talks about the research he is finishing: about the cult of left and right political martyrs in the late Russian Empire.

A topic close to my heart: „ From Academia to Policy: The Role of Ukrainian Studies in Global Affairs“ - insightful conversation #ICCEES2025 moderated by @oonuch.bsky.social with Olga Budnyk, Commissioner to the President of Ukraine & Mychailo Wynnyckyj, Ukr Deputy Minister of Science & Education

#ICCEES2025 day 2: From adaptation strategies at Moldovan bazaars to multilinguality, today's presentations covered many of our research areas, e.g. political economy, border regions and migration & diversity.

Another highlight: introducing the data network #KoDaNetOst, read more: bit.ly/415q9Ti

If you happen to be in London for the Congress, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to visit the Bloomsbury stand and perhaps capture some photos of my book "in the wild." That would make my day! #iccees2025 #dresscultures #littleparis #fashion #romania #Interwar #bucharest

Ending Day 2 of #iccees2025 on a high note at the book launch organised by @uclpress.bsky.social for the “Anti-Atlas. Critical Area Studies from the East of the West” edited by
@timbeasley.bsky.social, Wendy Bracewell, & Michał Murawski and part of the #FRINGE series.

Nice networking + coffee/cake break at #ICCEES2025 today with Dr Kerstin Bischl (@zois.bsky.social) presenting KonKoop-project („Conflict and Cooperation in Eastern Europe“, German acronym) & institutional partners & scholars with related interests in the room.

The second day of #iccees2025, on a tour of #sseeslibrary

Fantastic roundtable/panel on „Endangered Memories and Archival Activism: Archives and the War in Ukraine” this AM. Panelists are all doing heroic work toward preservation of existing archives, gathering and supporting oral histories, photographs & documents during an active conflict. #ICCEES2025
