Our guest today is Viktoria Sereda, a Ukrainian scholar whose research expertise straddles the formation of sociopolitical identity, cross-regional mobility, as well as internal and international displacement of Ukrainians following the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Our associate producer, Asya Pisarevskaya, speaks with Viktoria about researching forced displacement as her home country has come under attack.
Viktoria Sereda is a fellow of the Forum of Transregional Studies in Berlin, a senior researcher at the Institute of Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and Professor at the Ukrainian Catholic University.
Her book "Displacement in war-torn Ukraine: State, dislocation, and belonging" is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press.
