Please join the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute, for a presentation by Dr. Tamara Martsenyuk, Petro Yacyk Program Fellow, University of Toronto, and Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. 

Women's participation in EuroMaidan and its social and media evaluations largely reflect the social position of women in the Ukrainian society. In her presentation Dr. Martsenyuk will try to discuss three major ideas: (International) media discourse about EuroMaidan was narrow, practices are much more diverse; women were not helpers, but participants of EuroMaidan; women had possibility to fulfill not only traditional roles, new niches for egalitarian participation were possible.

Tamara Martsenyuk holds a PhD in Sociology and her research interest focuses on the social structure of society and, particularly, on gender relations. Tamara is the author of over 40 academic publications, chapters of textbooks and chapters of books (Gender, Politics and Society in Ukraine, Toronto University Press, 2012). Tamaras current project is on womens activism in Ukraine during Euromaidan protests.
