Kateryna Bondar, a faculty member of Kryvyi Rih State Pedagogical University and a current SCAS-VUIAS Fellow, took part in a discussion on the topic “How Do Big Tech Platforms Influence the Dynamics of Societal Conflict? The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”. The discussion was organized by SCAS Fellows Oana Albu, Kateryna Bondar, and Vito Laterza, who brought together perspectives from media and communication, organizational studies, anthropology, and psychology to explore this pressing issue.

In addition, Kateryna Bondar hosted visiting scholars at SCAS as part of the VUIAS program. The programme included events at the Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies (IRES), Uppsala University, the weekly SCAS Fellow Seminar and the inaugural Nordic-VUIAS Fellow Conversation.

The VUIAS program is administered by Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Germany) in collaboration with international partners, including the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study.
