The conversation will be led Tallinn University’s Epp Annus. \n\n\n\nRussia’s war on Ukraine has not only destroyed millions of human lives\, it has also been catastrophic for the environment. Forests and fields have been burned to the ground\, animal and plant species pushed to the brink of extinction\, soil and water contaminated with oil products\, debris\, and mines. The devastation of biodiversity and ecosystems across Ukraine has been immeasurable\, long-lasting and its consequences stretch beyond national borders. In Ecocide in Ukraine\, Ukrainian researcher Darya Tsymbalyuk offers an intimate portrait of her beloved homeland against the backdrop of Russia’s war and ecocide. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the participants: \n\n\n\n Darya Tsymbalyuk is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures\, and the Committee on Environment\, Geography\, and Urbanization (CEGU) at the University of Chicago. Her academic papers and public essays explore narratives about environments\, multispecies worlds\, displacement\, embodied knowledge\, and entangled colonial histories of Ukraine. Her writing has appeared on the BBC’s Future Planet and open Democracy websites\, among many other publications. In addition to her research and writing\, Darya also works with images through drawing\, painting\, collage\, and video essays. \n\n\n\n Epp Annus is an associate professor at Tallinn University; she also lectures at Ohio State University (USA). Her interests include Baltic cultures and societies\, Russian imperialism/colonialism\, decoloniality\, and environmental studies. Her recent and forthcoming books include Environment and Society in Soviet Estonia\, 1960-1990 (Cambridge UP\, forthcoming 2025) and Soviet Postcolonial Studies: A View from the Western Borderlands (Routledge\, 2018). She has published two novels\, some poetry and several children’s books. We are proud to note that in her free time\, Epp happens to also be a council member of the Estonian American National Council.  \n\n\n\nThis event is organized by Tallinn University\, Institute of Humanities\, the project PRG2592 “Memory and Environment: The Intersection of Fast and Slow Violence in Transnational European Literatures” and the project TF2324 “Exploring Patterns of Subject-Formation in Estonian Culture\, 1956-1998”. \n\n\n\nSee less

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Fate of Europe: Ukraine\, the Baltic Region\, and Collective Security
DESCRIPTION:The Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies hosts this online roundtable discussion on “The Fate of Europe: Ukraine\, the Baltic Region\, and Collective Security.”  \n\n\n\nSince 2014\, the Ukrainian state and society have shown strength and resilience in resisting Russian aggression. Given the decisions of the new United States administration to engage Putin’s Russia and chastise Ukrainian leadership\, will Ukraine be able to continue defending its sovereignty? What are the implications of the recent changes in the US position towards Russia for European security\, including Nordic and Baltic security? How will Europeans approach their collective security in a new era of transatlantic relations? \n\n\n\nThese and other questions will be tackled by Hanna Shelest (Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism”) Marko Lehti (Tampere Peace Research Institute)\, and Ginta Palubinskas (West Virginia State University). The webinar will be moderated by Daunis Auers (University of Latvia) and welcome remarks will be delivered by AABS President Jörg Hackmann (University of Szczecin).  \n\n\n\nLearn more about the participants on the AABS website. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Sunday Matinee at the Lakewood Estonian House
DESCRIPTION:The Lakewood Estonian Association invites members to the Eesti Maja for a Sunday matinee\, showing the Estonian comedy “Suvitajad.” The film is based on the book of the same name\, authored by Juhan Smuul.   \n\n\n\nNot a member of the Lakewood Estonian Association yet? No problem! Reach out: lakewoodestonianhouse@gmail.com  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKalur Ärni on otsustanud nigela kalasaagi tõttu jaaniajaks suvitajad võtta. Plaan pole ju paha\, kuid tema kaunisse Muhumaa tallu saabuvad ülimalt tülikad külalised: proua Sohvia\, tema abikaasa Johan\, nende poeg Juunior ja Sohvia kaunitarist õde Erna koos oma ärimehest kavaleri Ivoga. Juba esimesel pilgul on selge\, et Ärnil ja tema naisel Lainel läheb suvitajatega väga keeruliseks. Pealinnast tulnud suvitajad pakatavad tähtsusest ja nõuavad erikohtlemist\, samas on nende klantsi pealispinna all piinlikke saladusi\, mis tüli käigus avanema hakkavad. Linnarahva jagelustesse tõmmatud maarahvas avastab nüüd ka oma elus üllatavaid kitsaskohti. Naljakate segaduste ja intriigide saatel minnakse vastu jaaniööle ning koos võimsa lõkkega sütivad peoplatsil ka viimseni pingule timmitud kired. \n\n\n\nSmuuli jutustuse ainetel kirjutas stsenaariumi Martin Algus ja filmi režissööriks on Ergo Kuld. Komöödia “Suvitajad” on “Talve”\, “Soo” ja “Jahihooaja” taga seisva meeskonna kõige värskem linateos. \n\n\n\nKohvik ja baar avatudVabatahtlik annetus

SUMMARY:EIMH Summer School 2024: `The Fateful Year of 1944´
DESCRIPTION:26. MAR 2024 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Estonian Institute of Historical Memory welcomes participants to Summer School from August 4 – 9\, 2024. This year\, we are especially encouraging young people of Estonian heritage to apply. We welcome applications from upper secondary school and undergraduate students. The aim of the Summer School is to introduce young people to 20th century Estonian history and give them an opportunity to forge new friendships and visit their ancestral homeland. \n\n\n\nWhat was this country that was created in 1918 and was fought over in the subsequent War of Independence? What were people fleeing from\, defying the autumn storms of 1944\, sometimes at the cost of their lives? What lay ahead for those who stayed?  \n\n\n\nAs a result of the terrors of the occupying power\, Estonia lost a fifth of its population of just over one million. In total\, more than 75\,000 Estonians were murdered\, imprisoned or deported. Despite the dangers\, an estimated 80\,000 people decided to escape to the free world. There were no illusions about what was to come after the first Soviet occupation in 1940. \n\n\n\nThe Summer School includes presentations\, film screenings\, excursions\, visits to museums and places of remembrance and discussions. It is also an opportunity to explore Estonia’s beautiful nature. In addition to the capital\, Tallinn\, we will also visit Tartu\, the European Capital of Culture 2024\, and spend a day in Viljandi. You will also have the chance to swim in a bog lake and see how Estonia’s “Forest Brothers” lived as they fought for freedom and against a foreign rule. \n\n\n\nOn the other side of the Iron Curtain\, the spirit and ideas of freedom were carried on by those who had left. In 1991\, we restored our independence\, and now we can be together again. So come on over! \n\n\n\nParticipation at the summer school is free of charge. The Estonian Institute of Historical Memory covers the costs of the programme\, catering and accommodation in twin rooms. Participants are responsible for organizing and paying for their transport*to and from Estonia. Applications to the Summer School are open until 30 April and applicants will be notified of the results by 6 May.  \n\n\n\n*NB! The Estonian American National Council is offering two lucky students support in the amount of $1250 toward travel costs to encourage and enable participation in this important course.  \n\n\n\n\nEANC Grant Info\n\n\n\n\nPlease note the summer school application deadline is April 30.  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions about the course\, please contact Mälu Institute at konkurss@mnemosyne.ee \n\n\n\nSummer School Application link:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduUflfJ5yduZ3IgwAsbZqnivYd5ZVVE7MX71vqB-lSXBXGwg/viewform?usp=sharing

SUMMARY:AABS Conference 2024
DESCRIPTION:The 29th Biennial AABS Conference – The Baltic Way: Unity and Giving Aid\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaily Schedule\n\n\n\n\nEstonia\, Latvia\, and Lithuania have for over the past century shown the benefits of shared action and solidarity. The three states sought recognition of their independence following World War I\, and following World War II – through the years of Soviet occupation – they maintained that recognition through collaborative efforts. In recent decades the joint efforts of their peoples were seen in the peaceful Baltic Way demonstration in August 1989 when Balts joined hands from Tallinn to Vilnius across a distance of 600 kilometers\, and in the three countries’ together joining NATO in 2004. Today\, the three Baltic countries are leading the world in per capita aid to Ukraine after Russia’s invasion in February 2022.  \n\n\n\nGathering at the 29th biennial conference of the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies (AABS)\, to be held on the campus of Yale University on June 13-16\, 2024\, will be hundreds of people dedicated to the study of the peoples and lands around the Baltic Sea. The conference features panels from all fields of the humanities and social sciences\, education\, technology\, transnational security\, safety\, and well-being. The conference draws attention to the larger shared space throughout the Baltic Sea region as well as to the role the peoples of the Baltic are playing on an all-European and global scale. The conference\, held on location\, is co-hosted by Yale University and the University of New Haven. \n\n\n\nEANC is a proud sponsor of this impactful conference.  \n\n\n\n\nProgram overview \n\n\n\nProgram Schedule by Day
