Connectivity and Disconnectivity in the South Caucasus
|
|
|
|
|
‘Connectivity’ has become a buzzword with regard to the South Caucasus. While it seems to be on everyone’s lips, the processes associated with it are actually characterised by a variety of disconnections due to external and internal factors. Against this backdrop, this workshop aims for a thorough engagement with and theorisation of connectivity.

The Effect of War on Ukraine's Values
by Iryna Kaplan
|
|
|
|
|
The war in Ukraine is also a war between two value systems. While in Russia's narrative Western values pose a threat, Ukraine is increasingly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and has ratified the Istanbul Convention.
