By focusing on nationalism and identity, ASN aims to understand complex processes of societal transformation taking place from Europe to Eurasia and beyond.
#ASN26 on the Run - what a great way to start Saturday morning! Ideas exchanged, research discussed, and miles clocked in! Now let's enjoy the last day of the conference!
That was a Friday.
Thank you to today’s presenters, chairs, discussants, authors, filmmakers, and participants for making #ASN26 such a lively mix of scholarship, debate, books, films, and community.
Friday afternoon at #ASN26 keeps going strong: war and migration, forced displacement, South Caucasus peace, civil society in Ukraine, digital media and war, hybrid wars, and Ukraine’s fight looking ahead.
Coffee may be required. The panels are worth it.
Lunchtime film break at #ASN26:
Cuba & Alaska
Politzek, The Voices That Defy the Kremlin
With other films shown as well (check your printed program).
War, memory, journalism, resistance — on screen and in conversation.
Ready to stretch your legs between panels?

#ASN26
Session 6 is stacked with book panels: Belarus, minority elections, Chechen demography, domination, Jewish Odesa, Ukrainian resistance, and more.
Reminder: at #ASN26, the book panel is very much alive and well.
Big morning energy at #ASN26: democracy, authoritarian drift, contested nationalisms, and political crossroads from Georgia to Ukraine and beyond.
No shortage of urgent questions before lunch.
Day 2 of #ASN26 is off and running: Georgia, Ukraine, immigration, nationalism, Turkey, the Balkans, Russia/Soviet narratives — and that’s just the morning.
Panels, roundtables, books, films. Friday understood the assignment.
ASN is more than a conference — it is a community.
We’re taking #ASN26 on the Move! Pick up the scavenger hunt at the Registration Desk and complete it during lunch today, Fri. 5/29. Then get ready for tomorrow’s fun run/walk in Riverside Park.
