IRIS NRC is proud to co-sponsor the EPS Network for International and Comparative Education’s Fall series. We hope that you join us for the third of five events: “Shattered Dreams and Promises of Higher Education: How Ukrainian Youth Navigate Higher Education Despite the Odds,” with Alla Korzh.
This talk will draw on a qualitative study conducted in Ukraine virtually during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Drawing on in-depth interviews with socio-economically disadvantaged Ukrainian youth, the study examines how university youth navigate higher education in a war-torn Ukraine and envision their future post-graduation.
