Revolutions of Hope: Resilience and Recovery in Ukraine

March 6-8, 2025
University of Notre Dame

This international and interdisciplinary conference is dedicated to the ethics and politics of hope in contemporary Ukraine. A collaboration between Notre Dame’s Nanovic Institute, part of the Keough School of Global Affairs, and Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU), 

The conference will focus on the positive and corrective response to this destruction, exploring reasons for hope, sources of hope, and the politics and ethics of hope in Ukraine. How is hope powerful or even revolutionary? How does it encourage resilience and recovery? And, above all, how can we build and promote the integral development of hope in Ukraine? The conference will explore the concept, dynamics, and practices of hope through keynote addresses, panel discussions, the arts, and liturgical observances.
