Seminar with Alana Lentin
Book presentation
On Wednesday April 9, Professor Alana Lentin from Western Sydney University will hold an open lecture on her latest book, The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy. Taking the reader beyond the distracting framings of culture wars and moral panics, Alana Lentin shows how the attacks on Black, Indigenous and anticolonial thought and praxis reveal the processes through which racial colonial rule is ideologically resecured.
Date and time: 9 April 2025 13:15 to15:00
Location: Lux Aula nedre

What awaits Ukraine?
Welcome to a panel discussion about the situation in Ukraine and what the future may look like for both Ukraine and Europe
The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has now been going on for more than three years and recently both the war and politics have intensified. Putin has taken North Korean soldiers to Kursk and regularly threatens with nuclear weapons. The voices for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are growing stronger and the negotiations may begin in Saudi Arabia. The change of US president has led to growing uncertainty in the world. How will his policies affect the war? And does Europe need a new strategy for Ukraine? What can history teach us about the situation in Ukraine?
Panelists: Svitlana Babenko, Researcher and Docent in Sociology, Malmö University; Alina Zubkovych,Head of Nordic Ukraine Forum, visiting prof. & academic director in Social Science, Kyiv School of Economics; Yuliya Yurchuk, Senior lecturer of History of Ideas, Södertörn University.
Moderator: Michel Anderlini, assistant senior lecturer in global political studies, Malmö University
Registration is required. We will offer coffee and a snack.
Date and time: 10 April 2025 18:00 to 19:45
Location: Malmö stadsbibliotek, Röda rummet
