The War in Ukraine and the Future of Democracy

Join us for the first event of the Vice-Chancellor's Democracy Forum series for 2023

The future seems increasingly uncertain. Our democracies are failing to prevent wars, financial crises, energy shortages, climate change, - so how can we look to the future with confidence? The panel of distinguished speakers explores the fight for democracy in Ukraine and its impact on the global democratic order.  They will discuss the current challenges and what the future of democracy may look like.

 

Featured Speakers:

Dr Olga Oleinikova - Senior Lecturer Politics and Director of Social Impact Technologies and Democracy Research Hub at UTS

His Excellency, Vasyl Myroshnychenko - Ambassador to Ukraine for Australia and New Zealand

Dr Sara Meger - Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Melbourne

Misha Zelinsky - Fulbright Scholar & War Correspondent in Ukraine for the Australian Financial Review

Zoya Sheftalovich - Contributing Editor at Politico
