Two people with extended experience in Russia and Ukraine will visit campus tonight (Wednesday) to discuss what civility might look like in the Russia/Ukraine relationship. The session will be in Hoover 105 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Johan Maurer lived in Russia for 10 years, teaching English and working with Quaker meetings in that country. Stu Willcuts has decades of experience delivering aid to crisis-torn nations, including in Ukraine after the Russian invasion of the Crimea and Donbas regions of eastern Ukraine.
War is the worst-case scenario when civility breaks down. Maurer and Willcuts will share their perceptions of what caused such a catastrophic breakdown between Russia and Ukraine. Did they ever enjoy a civil, productive relationship? How did the relationship deteriorate? What effects has it had? Is there a path toward building a constructive, civil relationship?
The public is welcome. A Zoom link will be available; watch for it on the Civility Project website. If you have questions, contact project director Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.
