Report The VIP fellowship will allow Dr Olesya Khromeychuk to conduct workshops with doctoral research students on the subject of women and war in 20th Century East-Central Europe over the course of 2020-21. The workshops will focus on three key themes: militarisation of women in times of war, servicewomen’s active participation in regular and guerrilla movements and the impact of the construction of militarised masculinity and femininity on women’s and men’s status in post-war societies. The workshops will discuss the effects that militarisation, political violence, the collapse of state institutions and the rule of law have on women’s lives. The workshops will provide a space for discussion of different conflicts in a comparative way. They will approach the study of women’s experiences of wars in East-Central Europe by exploring intersections between history, sociology, and cultural and memory studies.
