War in Ukraine

Theological, Ethical and Historical Reflections

Vienna Postgraduate Symposium 

13^th-17^th of February 2023, Vienna

Organized by: Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Vienna (Organizing Team)

 

The Russian Federation’s war of aggression against Ukraine that escalated in February 2022 will have been a matter of intense global concern for almost one year by the time the symposium will take place. The war has drawn a lot of public and academic attention to Ukraine, its history, people, culture, churches and religions. Furthermore, the war has also questioned many assumptions and alleged certainties in theology, ethics, historical studies and related disciplines. We know that the questions that this war raises, will remain issues of debate and attention for a long time and want to discuss them in our symposium.
