Interdisciplinary research is discussed more often than it is practiced. Research is becoming increasingly specialized and fragmented across the vast array of disciplines and subfields, and scholars studying similar phenomena rarely speak with one another. This workshop aims to break down such barriers among scholars, bringing together graduate students from various disciplines who work on the dynamics of micro-level political violence in Ukraine, other areas of Eastern Europe, and East Asia. In addition to sharing their research in progress, participants will have the opportunity to compare approaches to studying micro-level political violence, as well as learn from a collection of case studies. What can Ukrainian studies learn from scholars who examine political violence in different contexts? What can others learn from Ukrainian studies? What are the benefits and pitfalls of interdisciplinary engagement, and how can we engage in it constructively moving forward? This gathering, in a working group setting, will provide a rare opportunity for discussion of the benefits, challenges, pitfalls, and avenues for future collaborative research.
