Marnie Howlett: Understanding Ukrainian Resistance Amidst Russia’s Full-Scale WarWednesday, January 28, 7:00-8:30PM CST
How do the experiences of past generations shape how Ukrainians understand and defend their country today? In this timely talk, Dr. Marnie Howlett explores how memories of earlier wars, shifting borders, and decades of political upheaval continue to influence Ukraine’s extraordinary resistance to Russia’s full-scale invasion. Drawing on a full year of fieldwork and six national public opinion studies conducted since 2022, Dr. Howlett offers fresh insight into how ordinary Ukrainians see the state, the land, and their role within it—and what this means for Ukraine’s future at home and on the world stage.
Dr. Marnie Howlett is a Departmental Lecturer in Russian and Eastern European Politics in the Department of Politics and International Relations and the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies at the University of Oxford. She completed her PhD in International Relations at the LSE in 2021 and holds a BA (High Honours) in International Studies and an MA in Political Science from the University of Saskatchewan.
Her research explores the intersections of geopolitics, cartography, and nationalism in the former Soviet Union, with a focus on Ukraine. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, she has led multiple projects on war outcomes, nationalism, and territory, including six public opinion and conjoint surveys. She is currently writing a book on why ordinary Ukrainians volunteered to defend their state after the invasion.
