Last panel #ZOiS_Conference @zois.bsky.social on the political power of maps, incl. their rhetorical lives in wars. Examples from Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Cold War and the combination of technology and witness accounts to visualise war realities inside Mariupol theatre (Maksym Rokmaniko)

At #ZOiS_Conference now: Tatiana Golova (@zois.blsky.social) & Liliia Sabina (CEU) discussing new research on strong polarization into pro-/anti-Russia groups against background of long-existing & new & diverse migrant communities in Germany. A new type of political diaspora?

Now at #ZOiS_Conference Felix Krawatzek(@zois.blsky.social) presents first results of our survey research among new Russian migrants in Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan & Turkey. „Identity fusion“ with other Russians in host country correlates with anti-Russia activism (esp. Arm/G)

Panel 4 #ZOiS_Conference @zois.bsky.social on different forms of mobility during war. First up Viktoria Sereda looking at the mostly „invisible“ minorities in #Ukraine, esp. in southern regions. They tend to slip through mainstream methodological approaches.

Day 2 #ZOiS_Conference starts with panel probing concept of development focusing on growth, green growth &post-growth with reference to reconstruction in #Ukraine and greening BRI with Julia Langbein & Valentin Krüsmann (@zois.blsky.social) & Julian Bergmann (#IDOS)

11 stellar presentations of postgrad research showed us all @ZOiS_Berlin this evening how concise, informative and fun academic presentations can be. Maybe we should only accept conference contributions in the PechaKucha format next time round? #ZOiS_Conference

Während in Berlin die #ZOiS_Conference gestartet ist, ging auch beim #fwk23 weiter, heute mit viel Input zu Debattenkultur.

Full house @zois.blsky.social for 2nd panel #ZOiS_Conference on temporality in the form of dis)continuities - incl. impact of Russia‘s war on local/national security perceptions in Lithuania & Poland,; party systems in Bulgaria, Romania & Serbia; & on climate change policies.

PhD student Alena Zelenskaia (@LMU Muenchen) asks if Russo-Ukrainian war changes memories of Soviet past of older generation experiencing displacement. Pilot study shows how formative event is not war as such but sth concrete as departure of a son. #ZOiS_Conference @zois.bsky.social

Now presenting at #ZOiS_Conference 2023: Hakob Matevosyan (@zois.bsky.social #MoveMeRu) speaking about today’s multiple crises/ruptures shaping a political generation and potentially becoming a source of future societal polarisation. Fresh empirical data on #Poland too.
