Book Launch | The Arts of War: Ukrainian Artists Confront Russia [[link removed]]
Tuesday, Nov. 28 // 11:00 am–12:00 pm (ET)
The Ukrainian response to the 2022 Russian full-scale invasion has inspired a new appreciation for their country both within and beyond Ukraine. The steadfastness of Ukrainians in the defense of their country has surprised many. The stories presented in Blair A. Ruble's newest collection, The Arts of War , highlight the ways in which Ukrainians have long explored the meaning of their country and culture through the arts; and the manner in which the arts and their creators have empowered Ukrainians to confront the Russian invaders. Dr. Ruble will explain how these developments also offer intriguing clues about the culture, society, and politics of a post-war Ukraine.

The Nationalist Dilemma: A Global History of Economic Nationalism, 1776–Present [[link removed]]Monday, Nov. 27 // 4–5:30 pm (ET)
Nationalism is often deemed a purely political or cultural ideology whose proponents are uninterested in the minutiae of economic policy. Marvin Suesse shows that nationalists do in fact think about the economy, and that this thinking matters once they hold power. Drawing on case studies from the American Revolution to the rise of China, he explains the varieties of economic nationalism, elucidates their origins, and analyses their effect on the development of the global economy.

The Emigration of Belarusian and Russian Academics and Institutions [[link removed]]Wednesday, Nov. 29 // 10–11:00 am (ET)
In the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many Russian academics left Russia for Europe and elsewhere fearing increased reprisals from university administration as well as from the state itself. In Belarus, however, this trend began over a decade earlier. This panel discussion will examine how academics have rebuilt, or are rebuilding, their research, their networks, and even in some cases their entire universities.

The Regulation of Seabed Mining: A Conversation with Michael Lodge, Secretary General of the International Seabed Authority [[link removed]]Wednesday, Nov. 29 // 1:30–2:30 pm (ET)
As the race to strengthen critical minerals supply chains heats up, attention has increasingly turned to the abundance of those minerals on the ocean floor. Since 2001 the International Seabed Authority (ISA) has issued exploration contracts to search for polymetallic nodules, polymetallic sulphides and cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts and in the summer of 2023 announced an agreed deadline of 2025 for the adoption of regulations governing seabed mineral extraction in the international seabed area (the Area). As discussions progress, there have been calls for a 10-year moratorium by environmental groups and some governments, and the issue is complicated further by the fact that the US government is not a signatory to the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and therefore only holds observer status in the ISA.
