Voices from Ukraine 2023 - Dr. Tetiana Perga

Dr. Tetiana Perga, PhD (History), a leading researcher at the State Institution "Institute of World History of National Academy of Science of Ukraine" in Ukraine on "War and violence against nature: the image of the Ukrainian military in stories for adults and fairy tales for children, 2022-2023".

On the 27th to the 28th of October 2023 we were hosting the conference Voices from Ukraine: Women Philosophers and Scientists Against War and Ecocide. The conference was organised by Prof. Dr. Kateryna Karpenko, Director of the Center for Gender Education of National Medical University (KHNMU) & Pro. Dr. Ruth E. Hagengruber, Director of the internationally acting Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists.

The conference links two current issues, patriarchal violence and its relation to war and ecocide. In the long tradition of women philosophers, the destruction of nature has been at the centre of their reflections. In the practice of war, the destruction of nature goes hand in hand with the violent abuse of women.
