EXCO 153 FA - UkraineCo

2 credits
This ExCo will introduce students to Ukraine through a decolonial lens, placing particular emphasis on Ukraine’s experience with and resistance from russian colonialism. It will include discussion of Ukrainian history and culture, and provide context for today’s war through readings, guest speakers/discussions, art, and films. (Maybe even food!) The recent full-scale invasion of Ukraine created a need for greater study of Ukraine in the US, but colleges and universities continue to center russia in their Eastern European studies departments-this course aims to examine that, with the hope that those taking it deepen the way they think about Eastern European countries.
