Hi Everyone, On Wednesday we had an Emerge meeting where we invited Ukrainians in our network to speak. Some highlights from the Emerge gathering in Kyiv in 2019 can be found here <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.whatisemerging.com_updates_emerge-2Dgathering-2D2019-2Dhighlights&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=kCMFJ_nRHu0OxFbKEOdKk-7VCu4IkcKTn7w7nipCNJU&s=F89Yi3KZ-rVK7bsHEpe_bf2TcXGa3t1i9TB_qw5YBBQ&e= >. One of the people who spoke on Wednesday was Lecturer, entrepreneur and civil society leader Valerii Pekar who gave a particularly astute analysis. Valerii is based in Kyiv, so I was keen to speak further quickly. He didn't have much time to prepare the following, but he gives a short slide lecture below and then we have some questions. If you are interested in some of the deeper currents of what's happening in Ukraine, It's well worth your time. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-3Fv-3DvHe8lmUl3yQ&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=kCMFJ_nRHu0OxFbKEOdKk-7VCu4IkcKTn7w7nipCNJU&s=1CyANJut8PwCd_Y7php_I0P0YKNv0m2uvRLNC0AM6lw&e= Jonathan. -- Dr. Jonathan Rowson Founding Director, Perspectiva <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.systems-2Dsouls-2Dsociety.com_&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=kCMFJ_nRHu0OxFbKEOdKk-7VCu4IkcKTn7w7nipCNJU&s=zsnB4aAkZPmVMn0jLyf34jPAu6Fo3PEzViAlcd1-68E&e= > Research Fellow, CUSP <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.cusp.ac.uk_&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=kCMFJ_nRHu0OxFbKEOdKk-7VCu4IkcKTn7w7nipCNJU&s=McEvUQqBQvuQ-CN0B15ZvPOi8JxU8PF5TmhqYPtUtNo&e= > Open Society Fellow Website <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.jonathanrowson.me&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=kCMFJ_nRHu0OxFbKEOdKk-7VCu4IkcKTn7w7nipCNJU&s=k6RUaU8KI0COW0nFdEaFD053qZ2HIRFAM6w6QfkFPT0&e= > Twitter <http://@Jonathan_Rowson> LinkedIn <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.linkedin.com_in_jonathan-2Drowson-2D14799a12b_&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=kCMFJ_nRHu0OxFbKEOdKk-7VCu4IkcKTn7w7nipCNJU&s=Ak_yQStBQWAtoz8b9ogfaECV-AazP13Mr5RdIgouqVI&e= > *The Moves that Matter <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.co.uk_Moves-2Dthat-2DMatter-2DChess-2DGrandmaster_dp_1526603861&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=kCMFJ_nRHu0OxFbKEOdKk-7VCu4IkcKTn7w7nipCNJU&s=nCcI1qxyqYU3zZVfCP_fO5WYKUyA7W9_a7kUtd7IMU8&e= >: A Chess Grandmaster on the Game of Life* is published by Bloomsbury. ############################ To unsubscribe from the TOK-SOCIETY-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=TOK-SOCIETY-L&A=1
