Russia’s unprovoked military assault on Ukraine has created the single greatest refugee flow in Europe since 1945. Seven million people have been internally displaced and over five million have fled abroad. Among the displaced are many scholars, the majority of whom hope to return to their homes in Ukraine as soon as possible to contribute to the rebuilding of the country and the continued education of its people. The College of the Liberal Arts of Penn State University offers a Teach-In on Russia’s War in Ukraine to all members of the Penn State community.

Tamara Martsenyuk, Associate Professor of Sociology, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy

Women’s Participation in Defending Ukraine in Russia’s War

Tamara Martsenyuk will present the findings of sociological research conducted in 2015-2021, entitled “Invisible Battalion,” on the successes and challenges of gender equality implementation in the Ukrainian armed forces, the status of female veterans, and the problem of sexual harassment in the military. Her broader research interests include gender and social structure, and women’s access to the military.
