The Politics of Knowledge Production and the Russo-Ukrainian War

Thursday, November 30, 2023 – Friday, December 1, 2023

Online Event

12 PM New York l 6 PM Vienna

Central European University's Department of International Relations and Invisible University for Ukraine present a conference seeking to address how we obtain knowledge about the Russo-Ukrainian War, and to explore the conditions under which processes of knowledge production about the war have been taking place.

Much has been said about the perceived lack of knowledge that took the world by surprise on the 24th of February 2022. We seek to challenge such a perception by approaching the question of knowledge as mediated by dominant epistemologies, global inequalities in knowledge making, as well as performance of expertise and positioning in international politics. The conference places center stage the production, circulation, and contestation of knowledge to discuss who gets to speak about the war, what kind of speech gains traction, and what perspectives tend to be ignored.
