Together with my amazing co-editors Kateryna Zarembo and Maksym Yakovlyev, we brought together voices from Ukraine and beyond to explore what it means to teach International Relations during a full-scale war.

From lecture halls turned bomb shelters to fundamental questions about how (and what) we teach in times of war – this book is about courage, adaptation, and the role of education under fire. A huge thank you to all contributors who shared their experiences, reflections, and resilience.

Have a look, share your thoughts – and let’s keep the conversation going.
