The Russian Eurasian Student Organization is hosting a lecture by professor Katherine Hill (Reischl) at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 11, in Kimpel Hall room 102.

Titled "The Problem of Real Time in Realtime: Looking at Images of the Ukrainian War," the lecture explores ways of reading contemporary photographs of the war in Ukraine with particular focus on the complex relationships between nationalism, media and technology in the former Soviet Union.  

In 2017, Hill published the book  Photographic Memory: Cameras in the Hands of Russian Authors (Cornell University Press). She is also a creator of the Digital Humanities project on "Playing Soviet" on Soviet children's books. Hill taught Russian literature at Princeton and Stanford. 

Besides the lecture, Hill is also giving a workshop "Using Your Lang./Lit. Degree in the Business World" from 12:30-1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11, in J.B. Hunt room 207. The workshop will focus on how students can use their language and literature skills in the business world, providing guidance on how to leverage their knowledge to succeed in a global marketplace. 

These events will offer students a unique opportunity to learn from an expert in the Slavic studies. Don't miss out on this chance to expand your knowledge and gain new insights into the world of propaganda and photography in Russia and Ukraine.
