Dr. Tanya Lokot says: "This talk connects existing research into the affordances and limitations of digital resistance practices to Ukrainian citizens' use of social media platforms during Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. Interrogating the evolving concept of networked citizenship, I reflect on how Ukrainian citizens learn to incorporate the daily reality of war into their digital media routines, and how these mundane acts of documentation, affective expression and mediated witnessing are strategically mobilised to promote civic agency and oppose epistemic injustice. My goal is to offer new ways of thinking about networked citizenship, grassroots knowledge production, and citizen participation in conflicts in the age of intensely mediated warfare"

Understanding Resistance in Europe's East: Public Lecture Series at TCD.
This year’s lecture series explores forms and patterns of resistance, opposition, non-compliance or protest in Europe’s East - both past and present.
The lecturers will discuss manifestations of resistance in the region’s history, the long-term legacies of dissent, innovative forms of protest, and the role of culture in shaping critical views of politics and society.
The series will highlight the multifaceted nature of resistance by showcasing the diversity of acts of opposition across time and space in Europe’s most complex and symbolically loaded region.
The series is organised jointly by the Trinity Centre for Resistance Studies and the Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies, together with the DU Eastern European Society and DU History Society. It draws on in-house, local and international expertise.
The series is part-funded by the TCD Faculty Events Fund (FAHSS).
