On Both Sides of the Front: Muslims of Russia and the War in Ukraine

Kristina Kovalskaya, PhD in sociology (École pratique des hautes études), examines the varied effects of the war on Muslims from Russia and their diasporas. Drawing on colonial history, the sociology of religion and fieldwork on North Caucasian migration in Europe, she investigates parallel Muslim battalions, competing religious legitimations for participation in the conflict, and how diasporic politics have been reconfigured since 2014. The lecture offers analytical tools to rethink dominant interpretive frameworks.

New Governance Models for Equal Practices

Lectures & Workshops

Maison de l'Avenir

This participatory workshop tests three governance models: hierarchy, top-sharing and shared governance in small teams. Participants play three structured exercises to observe how decision-making, power distribution and group dynamics affect equality and inclusion. After each game the group debriefs to analyze consequences for communication, agency and collective responsibility, and to draw practical insights for adapting governance in organizations. The session encourages critical reflection and comparative analysis of models.
