Grateful for the warm response to my chapter in this wonderful volume edited by @LadanRahbari and @OBurlyuk . Readers have called it "powerful", "unique", "beautifully written", and "extremely moving".

Amazing work @LadanRahbari & @OBurlyuk - another crucial volume, and so many perspectives! Glad to have been invited to share what it’s been like as an ‘East European scholar’ in various corners of Western academia, esp in an increasingly far-right Germany openbookpublishers.com/books…

Looking Back, Moving Forward: Decolonial Dialogues on Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Our powerhouse roundtable at Tallinn Uni, standing on the shoulders of thinkers like Madina Tlostanova, who’ve written about decoloniality and the importance of double critique long before us

So these eastsplainers of westsplaining have finally met! Jan Smoleński and I shared some very mutually understanding remarks and wavelengths in Warsaw. Next time hopefully with @jan_dutkiewicz, @OBurlyuk, @MilaOSullivan, Aizada Arystanbek, @mysliar and everyone who relates 🔥

Just out: our paper with @DurdiyevaSelbi taking a look at the legacy of Angela Davis, much of the Western left and the ongoing disengagement with dissent knowledges and liberation struggles in Europe’s East, Central and North Asia, emphasizing the need for epistemic reparations

So glad to see that our critical analysis of epistemic imperialism, Western-centric perspectives and Russian-centric frameworks in debates on Europe’s East and Central Asia was viewed over 20,000 times in over a year. May this contribute to greater epistemic and material justice
And just like that ... the article "(En)Countering epistemic imperialism" by @TerezaHendl, @MilaOSullivan, Aizada Arystanbek & I is in "TOP-10 MOST READ OF ALL TIMES" in @CSP_journal! This is amazing news considering the argument we make. See tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… @Politics_UvA

Appreciating this text, in which Olga Burlyuk suggests we use the term ‘the pornography of land concessions’ to capture the common pattern, in which people (& in the West in particular) get excited at the idea of giving up land that is not theirs, while denying Ukrainians agency
My new essay “The myth of the 'empty steppe': how Europe misimagines Ukraine” is published with @platformraam. In it, I coin the term “pornography of land concessions” and link it to the portrayal of #Ukraine️ as empty steppe in #European cultural canon.

Time to revisit this text on the mis-imagination of Ukraine as an empty land, especially persistent in Western Europe. Olga Burlyuk scrutinises the common suggestions of surrender to Russian occupation as the pornography of land concessions and reminds us:
there are people here

Some suggest that giving up some 'empty steppe' in exchange for peace with Russia should not be too big of a deal for Ukraine. According to @OBurlyuk, associate professor at @UvA_Amsterdam, such readiness for land concessions is deeply rooted in European imagination of Ukraine.

The essay is inspired by an essay on Byron and Mazepa by @yermolenko_v and a FB post of @KaterynaZarembo.
