About the Speaker
Dr. Dorine Schellens is a university lecturer at the Centre for the Arts in Society with expertise on contemporary Russian and German literature and culture.
Her current research focuses on imagined futures in contemporary Russian and Eastern German literature and art as media that reflect and shape societal discourses on change in the post-communist region. Dr. Schellen's research intersects with her involvement in a project that support students, scholars, and cultural workers at risk. The University of New Europe is an academic institution in the making which will offer research, teaching, and dialogue on European politics, culture, society, and climate in a global perspective. In response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, the team behind this project is also engaged in supporting scholars, students, and cultural workers at risk with a mentoring network and an open access database of emergency opportunities.
