It’s out in the world. This piece is the final product of the collaboration I wrote about a little while back, co-written with Olena Denysenko, Dina Krichker, Olga Rebro, and Maria Gunko. In contrast to the abstractions of global headlines, we focus on the micro perspectives of everyday lived experience.

One theme running through all of the contributions is a variety of bordering processes that fracture territories, families, and lives.

I don’t like being too self-promotional, but I think this is really important work. We did something nuanced and slow. It was a difficult process, not the least because of the periodic disruptions caused by the war. But even for the authors outside of Ukraine, it was challenging to wade in the waters we explored together.

I know it’s not much. It doesn’t stop the war. But I’m still very proud of what we’ve produced. It’s Open Access, here. I hope you’ll take the time to read it.
