IOP Pritzker Fellow Dasha Zarvina on "The Volunteer State: How Society Reinforced & Replaced Institutions"

THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY

Thursday, February 26

12:30-1:45pm

Volunteer networks are a defining feature of Ukraine’s war effort, including their strengths, risks and long-term implications. Via the case study of Come Back Alive, we'll look inside the fundamental phenomenon of the "crowdfunded war" often remains out of the spotlight, overshadowed by its effects (the drone revolution, government-society interaction reshaping and humanitarian policy changes, to name a few). We'll address this substitution of state functions by NGOs. Is this a temporary emergency measure or a permanent shift in Ukrainian governance?

Special Guest (via Zoom): Taras Chmut, former Marine, Military Analyst and Director of the “Come Back Alive” Foundation
