The international conference will explore the legacies of cultural opposition in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe after the collapse of communism. The conference is organised jointly the Centre, the Long Room Hub and the Irish Association for Russian, Central and East European Studies.

The symposium will bring together scholars, activists and artists to explore the artistic and cultural development of the overseas Hong Kong diaspora. The symposium will take place in the Hague from 23-24 May, 2024, with an accompanying exhibition from 17-26 May, 2024

The Centre hosted a public lecture by Dr Olesya Khromeychuk, Director of the Ukrainian Institute in London on 26 March 2024 in the Long Room Hub.

In this latest event in the Literature and Resistance series, we explored the role comic books and graphic novels are playing in reflecting and critiquing some of the most pressing contemporary issues, and in fostering community and inspiring activism among their readers.

In his lecture Professor De Baets explored the various strategies historians have developed to resist attacks on - and abuses of - their profession. The talk provided an analysis of the repertoires of resistance historians adopted in dictatorships and reflected on the possibilities of safeguarding academic freedom in democracies.
