“The State of Limbo:” Knowledge, Gender, Migration. Displaced scholars from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia
Dr. Tatiana Krivobokova is a Lecturer at the University of Padova, Italy, where she also coordinates the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network DEMINE (DEaling with conflicts related to MIgration: NEgotiating social cohesion through communication), a European Joint Doctorate. She is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Erfurt in Germany. Her work bridges academic research, project management, and public engagement. As a public speaker, she also addresses questions of women’s rights and gender equality, with a particular focus on women’s empowerment and the role of women-led social movements in processes of democratization and resistance to authoritarian rule. Her research pays close attention to Eastern Europe, especially Russia and Belarus.
About the presentation: The aim of Dr. Tatiana Krivobokova’s research is to analyze the challenges faced by displaced female scholars from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia who are compelled to leave their home countries and adapt to new cultural and academic environments. Her study examines the conditions and unique aspects of knowledge production among these displaced and migrant female scholars. The primary focus lies on the tension between two realms: the material world—which includes the circumstances of migration, adaptation, mimicry, and transition faced by these scholars, alongside their bodily and emotional experiences and the labor of care—and the epistemological process related to knowledge production. The goal is to reveal how these material and often traumatic experiences influence or shape the knowledge that is produced by these scholars.
The paper is part of a collaborative research project titled “Protecting Academia at Risk: Towards a New Policy Agenda for a Thriving Culture of Higher Education in Europe.” This project involves partnerships between the University of Erfurt, Central European University in Vienna, the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration in Bucharest, and the London School of Economics and Political Science, with support from the Gerda Henkel Foundation.
About the Workshop: We ask that registered participants read the paper in advance, shared upon registration. At the workshop, Tatiana Krivobokova will have a brief presentation. Following Dr. Krivobokova’s presentation, we invite all participants to ask questions based on the paper and presentation.
