The Ukrainian Diaspora, at War: Ukraine, Armenia & War

Unpacking Armenian Studies

Dr. Dominique Arel of the University of Ottawa is a scholar of the Ukrainian Diaspora, which is active and effective in Canadian, and global pol. In a conversation with Institute Director Salpi Ghazarian, he presents an overview of the four waves of Ukrainian migration to Canada, and how each reinforced the identity and organizational capacity of those who had arrived earlier. The conversation focuses on responses to the war and the ability to mobilize the community’s as well as the host country’s – Canada’s – political resources. It ends with the question that has no answer – how do two neighbors go back to any sort of normality after such massive, unprovoked violence?

This is Episode 4 of the limited series called Ukraine, Armenia, and War.
