A Laboratory with the Moscow School of Literary Practices will bring Russia’s leading feminist and LGBTQ+ writers and critics — Oksana Vasyakina, Evgenia Nekrasova, Evgenia Vezhlyan, Alesya Atroshchenko, and Tatiana Novosyolova — to campus for a weeklong residency in Spring 2023. At a time when the global community is grappling with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, these visionary creatives will provide urgent perspectives on the role of the arts and humanities in bearing witness and charting a path forward.
