Welcome! The East European Politics Graduate Workshop (EEPGW) is a once a month, online workshop for political science graduate students. We aim to create an environment for those working on East European politics (broadly understood) to seek feedback and build community amongst other graduate students working on similar topics.

We welcome graduate students at any stage in their career. Feel free to reach out to us at eepg.workshop@gmail.com with further questions.

Statement on Russia’s War Against Ukraine

The EEPGW wholeheartedly condemns Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s sovereignty over the last ten years and its recent full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We stand in support of Ukraine and its people as they fight in support of their country and freedom. For more information on the war, and how to support the Ukrainian war effort, refugees, and media, we include resources compiled by Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and Razom for Ukraine.
