"Traces of Antifascism in the Postsocialist Former Yugoslavia" by Dr. Neda Atanasoski

Dr. Neda Atanasoski, Chair of the Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Maryland, will present a keynote address on “Traces of Antifascism in the Postsocialist Former Yugoslavia.” Drawing on her expertise in the intersections of gender, technology, and global politics, this talk will set the stage for the book club’s journey into questions of care, solidarity, and resistance. This talk will explore how cultural texts revisiting the 1990s Yugoslav wars challenge dominant narratives, recover erased histories of nonalignment and antifascist worker self-management, and illuminate the contemporary global rise of fascism.

This event is the launch event for the Transnational Care Book Club. Through literature, film, and discussion, book club events will explore how care and solidarity intersect with the complexities of local and global communities. This unique series brings together diverse perspectives, bridging geographies and histories to address pressing challenges of community and connection.

Sponsored by the USF Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; USF Department of Humanities & Cultural Studies; USF Institute for Russian, European and Eurasian Studies; and the USF Humanities Institute.
