Penn historian and 2025 Pulitzer Prize-winning author Benjamin Nathans will explore the impact of the Russo-Ukrainian war on academia—the field of European Studies in particular—with Harvard Professor of Ukrainian History Serhii Plokhy. Through the lens of Plokhy’s forthcoming publication and related projects, they will discuss the challenges, advantages, and disadvantages of writing history as it unfolds—as well as what opportunities this may create or hinder for the work and global collaboration of historians.
