<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Greetings! I am writing to follow up to my mentioning to you earlier (at the party for Rami Zeedan) that CREES is bringing a guest speaker next week, Olena Nikolayenko, who is an
Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham University (here is her profile page: </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><a href="https://www.fordham.edu/info/24307/faculty/6655/olena_nikolayenko"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">https://www.fordham.edu/info/24307/faculty/6655/olena_nikolayenko</span></a></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> ).
Her talk is titled "Why Women Protest: Gender and the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine," and her visit is fully funded by CREES. Her talk will be at 7 p.m. in the Malott Room at the Union. Here are the university website calendar entry and the Facebook event
for it:</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I see that Political Science Dept. has already accepted a co-hosting request for the Facebook event--thanks! I also wanted to let you know that there is a possibility of joining
our guest speaker for lunch and early dinner (5 p.m.) that day. If there are faculty and/or graduate students in your department interested in this opportunity, could they please contact my colleague Justyna Beinek, Assistant Director of CREES, copied on this
message? Thanks in advance!</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
