Våre tanker går særlig til våre kolleger og studentene ved disse universitetene. Vi er nå dypt bekymret for deres sikkerhet og for fremtiden til de som ønsker demokrati og fri kunnskapsutvikling i Ukraina.
The Department of Sociology and Human Geography at the University of Oslo strongly condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We are angry and upset about the situation. The department has active research collaborations with the universities in Kyiv, Odessa and Kharkiv and scholars from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Our thoughts go in particular to our colleagues and the students of these universities. We are now deeply concerned about their security and for the future of those who want democracy and free development of knowledge in Ukraine.
