The Summer Institute will take place in Uzhhorod on 11–14 August 2026 and will focus on the limits of testimony and on the methodological, ethical, and interpretive challenges of engaging with silence, self-censorship, and the unspoken in war narratives.

The collection of academic works features research by Ukrainian and international scholars analyzing various aspects of women’s experiences during World War II in Central and Eastern Europe.
