What changes in our understanding of Europe if we approach the Mediterranean not simply as an object of governance or a site of crisis, but as a medium through which Europe has continually defined and reimagined itself? This workshop brings together scholars from Europe and the United States to explore the Mediterranean as a space of cultural exchange, political negotiation, and ecological interdependence. Drawing on Mediterranean studies, the blue humanities, and critical ocean and media studies, the workshop considers how thinking from the sea rather than from the land might reshape our understanding of European histories, identities, and futures.

Women play a vital role in civil resistance to the entrenchment of authoritarianism. Yet, women’s engagement in contemporary revolutions often appears to be invisible in the public discourse and the academic literature. Using the case of the 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity (Euromaidan) in Ukraine, this talk analyzes women’s involvement in a revolution. Drawing on data from large-N surveys and oral history projects, Dr. Nikolayenko uncovers various motivations for women’s involvement in a revolution, identifies diverse forms of women’s participation, and traces the multifaceted outcomes of women’s activism.
