Dritte Netzwerkkonferenz 2024
Our third and last annual meeting entitled “ Scales of Ecology ” took place at GWZO Leipzig (Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe). Together with two guests, Tanya Bakhmetyeva (Rochester) and Jennifer Keating (Dublin), our network members discussed scales and scaling as an emerging field in ecocriticism and environmental history in Russia and Central Asia. During the three days, the network explored the following question and moved beyond: Are scales in Russia and the Soviet Union, a space of “large-scale projects and large-scale bureaucracies”, only ever vast or small?
