Woods), it asks how Putin’s war in Ukraine might change gender studies of Central-Eastern Europe and Eurasia (Janet E. Johnson), and how war changes feminist civil society organisations in Ukraine (Manuela Scheuermann). It also assesses maternalism and nationalism in Russia (Yulia Gradskova), (gendered) potentials of private accommodation for the social integration of refugees in Switzerland (Gesine Fuchs), and the role of gender and European-ness for welcome culture in Germany (Helma Lutz and Elisabeth Tuider).
