About the Conway Lectures
In 2002, the Medieval Institute inaugurated a lecture series in honor of Robert M. and Ricki Conway. Robert Conway is a 1966 graduate of Notre Dame and trustee of the University, and he and his wife are long-time friends and supporters of the Medieval Institute. The annual Conway Lectures bring senior scholars of international distinction to Notre Dame each fall to speak on topics across a variety of disciplines.

- Sep 1612:30 PMFlash Panel — "Ukraine Today: Where is the country heading?"Each day brings new dramatic news about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Ukrainian defense measures and counterattacks. Gathering expert panelists from both the University of Notre Dame and Ukraine, this flash panel will assess the situation in Ukraine from different perspectives. The Nanovic Institute for European Studies will host it on September 16, 2024. In August 2024, Ukraine broke through Russian border defense and occupied Russian territory. F-16 fighter jets arrived in the country. Russian aggression seemed to increase with massive air strikes. On August 24, Ukraine’s president Zelensky signed a controversial law banning Russia-linked religious groups with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as the main target – a move criticized by Pope Francis the following day. There are also discussions of peace plans following a “Summit on Peace in Ukraine” in Switzerland in June. What is the situation in the country now (September 2024)? What are the main developments over the summer of 2024? How can we assess the position Ukraine finds itself in? Where is the country heading? What are the expectations for fall and winter in Ukraine? In this 60-minute flash panel, we want to shed light on these questions.
