Germany: KIU Guest Professorship, Viadrina_Winter Term 2025/26

Our partner school European University Viadrina has informed us about their „Guest Professorship in Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies“. Please, contact the host institution directly if you are interested in this offer.

We are happy to announce the Call for Applications for the winter term 2025/2026 KIU Guest Professorship in Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies at European University Viadrina on the topic:

“Infrastructural fragmentation, infrastructural resilience – Interdisciplinary perspectives on techno-politics and crisis”

Infrastructures are both physical and knowledge-based. Physical infrastructures such as bridges, power plants, and cable networks — and knowledge infrastructures — including universities and civil society organizations — are increasingly being attacked and destroyed in Ukraine and its occupied territories by Russia’s full-scale invasion. As geopolitical uncertainties rise, these attacks are also increasingly affecting other parts of Europe. What does infrastructural resilience mean today? How is it being tested by different forms of attack? How can resilience become preventive rather than merely reactive towards physical and informational attacks? And what role does critical engagement play in shaping infrastructural developments?

The application portal is open now. You will find all the necessary details in the PDF-document.

Applications will be accepted till 15 April 2025. The deadline of the CfA has been extended till 30 April 2025!
